NORMAL — Ruth Burke, assistant professor of video in the Woonsok Kim School of Arts at Illinois State University, was awarded $49,248 for a project titled "Re-Integration of Mixed-Power Systems in Agroecological Intensification."
"The proposal focuses on community, pollinators, and mixed-use power systems to promote small farm and environmental sustainability," Burke explained in a news release.
The grant was awarded as part of NCR-SARE's Partnership Grant Program , which is intended to foster partnerships between agriculture professionals and small groups of farmers and ranchers to help accelerate the process of on-farm research, demonstration, and educational activities related to sustainable agriculture, the news release said.
Recipients are chosen based on the ability of applicants to present the problem that needs to be addressed, the relevance to sustainable agriculture in the 12-state North Central region, and how it aligns with NCR-SARE's goals.
