FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND

WHEREAS, the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center (SWFREC), part of
University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), was established as
a UF support facility in 1958 and became a OF/IFAS research and education center in 1986 after
the agricultural industry in southwest Florida convinced the state that the region needed its own
center to serve the region's unique agricultural and natural resource needs; and
WHEREAS, the research, education, and extension activities at SWFREC has been, and
will continue to be, an economic engine for the region and the state; and
WHEREAS, the SWFREC serves the entire State of Florida, focusing on Collier, Lee,
Charlotte, Hendry, and Glades counties, which produce almost 25% of Florida's citrus and
nearly 80%of the tomatoes and other fresh vegetables sold during winter to U.S. markets; and
WHEREAS, southwest Florida agricultural interests, including citrus, vegetables,
sugarcane, and ornamental growers, along with cattle ranches, collectively generate $1 billion in
farm sales annually, and are the core of an agribusiness and natural resource economy in
southwest Florida that contributes more than $6 billion of total annual economic activity
statewide; and
WHEREAS, the SWFREC is a valuable regional portal providing technology and
science regarding the management of water, environmental issues, and natural resources critical
and economic development to the region, state; and.
WHEREAS, in 2012, the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center ranked
second place among the 11 OF/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences research and
education centers for competitive grants received and third place for refereed scientific
publications,two important metrics of academic productivity; and,
WHEREAS, in recent years, the SWFREC has lost funding for staff, faculty, and
research programs, limiting and endangering the ability of the SWFREC to promote and protect
the health and productivity of southwest Florida and statewide agricultural interests; and
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, is in support of the South Florida Ag Council request to
support the $3.5 Million OF/IFAS budget request and for continued appropriate recurring and
capital funding supporting the needs of the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center,
