The agricultural income of Andalusia could have been even higher if it were not for the exorbitant rise in production costs.- Carmen Crespo, acting Andalusian agriculture minister

The olive oil sector was one of the driving forces behind this increase. The total value of olive oil production in Andalusia – the world’s largest olive oil-producing region by a significant margin – increased by 77 percent in 2021.

Officials at the provincial Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development attributed the increasing production value to a good harvest in the 2021/22 crop year in which Andalusia produced 1.15 million tons of olive oil and rising prices.

Eligible applicants include qualified Centers of Excellence at 1890 Land-grant Universities, 1994 Land-grant Tribal Colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian institutions, and participants in the Resident Instruction Grants Program for Institutions of Higher Education in Insular Areas.

“These investments provide critical support to our higher education partners to increase rural prosperity and economic sustainability of food systems in underserved agricultural communities,” said Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young, Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics and USDA’s Chief Scientist. “Food insecurity and food system interruptions have hit underserved communities hardest during the ongoing pandemic. By investing in education and workforce development at these institutions, we are training the workforce of the future to develop long-lasting solutions to these and other critical agricultural issues facing our nation.”Agricultural machine

Minority-serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions and Land-grant Tribal Colleges have made invaluable contributions to advancing scientific research and developing future agricultural leaders and change makers. Collectively, program investments at these institutions will build a pipeline of well-trained workers and support management of small-scale meat or poultry processing plants.gearbox

The Hispanic-serving Institutions grants are competitive among qualifying higher education institutions. Complete information on this funding opportunity can be found on the NIFA website. The deadline to submit applications is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, August 29, 2022. gearbox
