University’s project closes a loop to help farmers, consumers.
Jan 22, 2021
Dairy farmers in Whatcom County, Wash., generate nutrients in the form of cattle manure. Neighboring raspberry and blueberry farmers import nutrients in the form of fertilizer to maximize production.
To improve the nutrient loop in Northwest Washington, Washington State University assembled a team of scientists to study how berry growers can put dairies’ plentiful waste product to a use in their fields.
“We want to connect those industries,” said Chris Benedict, a WSU Extension specialist. “If it works, then that will lower the risk of nutrients entering into the environment, encourage farmers in different industries to work together closely, and hopefully help everyone economically.”

Bees are a lifeline for farms producing the worldâs fruits, vegetables, nuts and other nutrient-rich foods. Bees pollinate billions of dollarsâ worth of crops and play an essential role in our food supply. Pollinators are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat and contribute more than $15 billion to our nationâs crop values each year.
But these days, we donât see as many bees. Thatâs because they are dying at an increasing rate, making the future of our food security uncertain. Their plight is hardly a secret, and increasingly concerned citizens are responding with meaningful solutions.
