Kara Holsopple of the The Allegheny Front radio program interviewed Brian Snyder for an April 1 story called “Ohio State Is Putting Big Money Into Sustainable Agriculture.” Read and listen to it here.
Ohio State University is getting serious about transforming the state’s agricultural system. How serious? Try $100 million serious. That’s what Ohio State President Michael Drake has pledged to a program called the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation, or InFACT. And they’ve tapped one of Pennsylvania’s own rock stars in the sustainable agriculture scene to run it.
Snyder, who’s the executive director of the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, will take the same position with InFACT June 1.
Brian Snyder, pictured, executive director of one of the leading sustainable agriculture organizations in the nation, will join the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at The Ohio State University as it pursues its mission to create sustainable and resilient food systems for Ohio and beyond. 
It’s been 20 years since agronomists have developed fertilizer recommendations in Ohio.
In a little over a year, CFAES’s outreach arm, OSU Extension, has trained more than 10,000 Ohio farmers on best practices to apply fertilizer for optimum crop yield, reduce the risk of nutrient runoff and improve water quality throughout the state. And more training opportunities are scheduled to reach even more farmers.
