After six years of collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund and the University of Wisconsin, The Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association has developed a new way of growing food. Integrated Pest Management technologies are being applied across the globe in response to health- and environmentally conscious consumer demand. The collaboration has resulted in the eco-friendly potato brand called Healthy Grown.
