University of Nebraska–Lincoln Organic Farming Research

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources is committed to sustainable food, fiber, and natural resource systems that support a bio-based economy, and economics and environments for a sustainable future. To help meet those commitments, four UNL agriculture research centers have established the infrastructure for organic research with field activities funded by grants from the USDA Integrated Organic Program.

Organic crop research is being conducted on USDA National Organic Program (NOP) certified organic land in three of the four Nebraska ecoregions (Western High Plains, Central Great Plains, Nebraska Sandhills, Western Corn Belt) at four agricultural field laboratories across the state on 120 total acres of cropland.
