Team Pennsylvania Foundation released The Pennsylvania Agriculture Economic Analysis 2025, an in-depth report of Pennsylvania’s Agriculture Sector from 2012-2022. The report’s findings underscore agriculture’s crucial role in the state and national economy, analyzing on-farm production, processing, and manufacturing clusters to assess their efficiency, competitiveness, and growth opportunities.
“This study gives us critical information we need as state government to make sure we are investing in where we are going in Pennsylvania agriculture, not in where we’ve been,” Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “This is a springboard for a deeper dive into the trends, challenges, and opportunities that will inform our economic development strategy in the coming months and years.”
We invite you to learn more about the report during a webinar on April 16th at 12:00 p.m., and if you're interested in our team presenting this work to your network, please contact us at agriculture@teampa.com.
Abby Smith and Rachel Phillips attended and spoke at CMU Energy Week. Among other highlights, they presented Team Pennsylvania's Energy Scenarios work and Abby served as a panelist for a discussion about the Energy + AI workforce. . . . READ ON
