The National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative
If you’re a strawberry grower, nurseryman, or Extension Educator or advisor to strawberry growers – WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
The National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative (NSSI) is leading efforts to identify the critical research and outreach needs of the strawberry industry and to develop a project around these issues through the support of the USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative. The NSSI is a collaboration among universities, USDA-ARS, strawberry growers and the strawberry industry, across 13 states, with the goal to support and expand sustainable strawberry production. Please contribute to this national strawberry industry needs assessment by taking this survey. It should take 10-15 minutes and your answers will remain anonymous. The survey can be accessed through a link on our NSSI website, http://strawberry.uark.edu.
For questions about the project or the survey, please contact Heather Friedrich at heatherf@uark.edu or 479-575-2798.
