Ongoing Efforts
The original vision for the project has massively expanded through additional funding and partnerships developed with other WSU units and regional research institutions, including the USDA Agricultural Research Service, University of Idaho and Oregon State University. Additional and current efforts have expanded into assessment of climate impacts on Pacific Northwest Agriculture, water supply assessment, improving the carbon footprint of organic farming systems, extensive development of renewable energy and fertilizer recovery technology from organic wastes, additional research partnerships evaluating the intersection between agriculture and climate change, and a soon-to-be launched web portal for agricultural climate change science information for the region.
