We are pleased to announce the participation of the Lamp Lab in what we call the "RESILIENCE CAP" grant from the USDA Sustainable Agricultural Systems program. The grant aims to foster resilience and ecosystem services in landscapes by integrating diverse perennial circular systems. Press releases on the grant can be found here and here. The Lamp Lab will be leading the education efforts for the grant, and Bill is part of the coordinating committee. We will also be helping with comparisons of beneficial insects associated with farms across the country. We have a collaborator at Maryland, Dr. Amanda Grev, who will be doing extension work as part of the grant. She is an Extension Specialist, Forage and Pasture, in the AGNR Department of Extension and based at Western Maryland Research and Education Center.
