CEA HERB September meeting now open for registration

In 2022, the team Controlled Environment Agriculture Herb Extension & Research Base (CEAHerb) project received a 4-year grant from the USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) to evaluate the profitability and environmental sustainability of fresh-cut and potted culinary herbs produced in controlled environments (greenhouses and indoor farms).

The project is led by Roberto Lopez, in the Michigan State University (MSU) Department of Horticulture. Other participating MSU researchers are Bridget Behe and Erik Runkle, professors in the Department of Horticulture, and Mary Hausbeck, a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences. Other researchers and extension specialists include Kellie Walters in the department of plant sciences and Alicia Rihn in the department of agricultural and resource economics at the University of Tennessee, Brian Whipker in the department of horticultural sciences at North Carolina State University, Christopher Currey in the department of horticulture at Iowa State University, Angela Shaw in the department of animal and food Science at Texas Tech University, and Jennifer Boldt in the application technology research unit at the USDA-ARS.
