Project GREEEN
Project GREEEN (Generating Research and Extension to meet Economic and Environmental Needs) is a
cooperative effort by plant-based commodities and businesses with the Michigan Agricultural Experiment
Station (MAES), Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) and Michigan Department of Agriculture
(MDA). The Michigan Legislature created Project GREEEN to advance Michigans economy through its plantbased
agriculture. Its mission is to:
�� Develop research and educational programs in response to industry needs;
�� Ensure and improve food safety; and
�� Protect and preserve the quality of the environment.
Approximately $2.1 million in competitive grant funding is available from Project GREEEN during the
upcoming fiscal year. New proposals for FY-09 and continuation of multi-year projects funded in FY-07 and
FY-08 will be considered for funding.
