Our Mission
The Emerging Crops Accelerator aims to strengthen the vitality and resilience of Wisconsin agriculture through the development of new crops, new products, and new markets.
Our Team
Launched in 2021, the UW Emerging Crops Accelerator is a collaboration of UW-Madison faculty and Extension educators from around the state working to support new crop development.
10-20-30 Initiative
It is time to once again invest in the backbone of Wisconsin agriculture…its diversity. Luckily, we aren’t starting from scratch. The 10-20-30 Initiative describes how a number of emerging crops can be brought across the finish line and made a reality with a goal of 10 new crops on 20,000 acres by 2030.
