Congratulations to Dr. Simon Somogyi who was recently awarded a six month, $41,000 research grant from Genome Atlantic.
Dr Somogyi is the principal investigator and the project will involve performing a value chain analysis for an agri-food by-product.Â
Dr. Simon Somogyi, an Associate Professor of Business at the Faculty of Agriculture, focuses his research on agribusiness marketing. Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Dr. Somogyi’s research looks at linking growers and their products with specific high value markets.
“My research is about increasing agribusiness income throughout the chain, from input supplier and farmer to retailer,” Dr. Somogyi explains. “I think agriculture needs more of this.”
Dr. Simogyi would also like to welcome Alyssa Gerhardt who is working as a full time Research Associate on the project. Welcome Alyssa!
