Growing for the Future: Rodale Institute’s Vision for Sustainable Agriculture
Since its founding in 1947, the Rodale Institute has been a leader in the organic movement. Today, with five regional resource centers nationwide, the nonprofit organization offers farmers intensive training in sustainable agricultural practices. In 2022 alone, Rodale helped transition 321 farmers to organic growing practices, teaching everything from soil science to how to make a profit. “Our mission is to support existing and transitioning organic farmers so that we can expand regenerative farmland across the United States and the world,” says Andrew Smith, Ph.D., the institute’s chief scientific officer. “The future [of farming] really needs to align with human health,” he says. “And I think if you get our farming systems aligned with human health, then planetary health will follow.”

A new high-tech factory that recently opened at Brooks is a feast for the senses. In a building as large as a city block, long rows of fresh, virescent herb plants grow happily in richly fertilized soil under lights as bright as the noonday sun. The Soli Organic facility looks and smells like a produce farm — because it is. But the farm is behind closed doors where high-tech machines and proprietary systems do all the seeding, feeding, conveying and harvesting, the climate is controlled and water use minimized.
