From the Ground Up

Coach Mark Smallwood,  Executive Director, Rodale Institute

This is an organization in action. Since 1947, they have been committed to growing a future that will nourish and sustain generations to come – a future built upon rich, healthy soil and into which they can sink their roots. The Rodale Institute is one of but a very few organizations doing independent agricultural research in the field.  They are not a “think tank” – they get their hands dirty. They establish research projects that give farmers the tools and knowledge to increase soil health, crop quality and yields AND simplify farm management overall. And imagine this – they work to ensure citizens feel confident the food we feed our families is good for us and for the world around us. This show was made possible due to the generous support of The Fairfax Companies.
