Created in the 2014 Farm Bill, the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) builds unique public-private partnerships to support innovative science to address today’s food and agriculture challenges. To date, FFAR and its co-funders have invested $189 million.
We’re pleased that the Senate Agriculture Committee recently advanced a farm bill that includes new funding for FFAR. This would allow us to continue to support breakthrough science and technology and help create a more productive, sustainable food and agriculture system of the future. We’re grateful for Congressional support and look forward to continued collaboration to advance innovative research.
– Sally Rockey, Executive Director, The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR)
