Griffin Erich

Griffin is a rising junior in CALS majoring in plant sciences. Hailing from the small town of Hopewell Junction in the Hudson Valley region of New York, his passion for agriculture began when he volunteered at community supported agriculture (CSA) programs with his family. Griffin’s interest in plant biology, combined with his experience working on a local organic vegetable farm and an apple orchard, inspired him to conduct research on the use of soil amendments in various strawberry production systems. He hopes to continue researching sustainable management practices, while also improving food access to rural communities.
