PlantVillage - PSU
PlantVillage is a research and development unit of Penn State University that empowers smallholder farmers and seeks to lift them out of poverty using cheap, affordable technology and democratizing the access to knowledge that can help them grow more food.
The name PlantVillage is to remind ourselves that growing more food for the planet requires the collective response one finds in a diverse interdependent community. It takes a village as the saying goes.
Our village is made up of people who come from different countries and have different skills - all sharing the same philosophy that the knowledge required to grow food should be available to every farmer in the world.
