Round 3 (2013)

Third round of Trellis Fund projects

The third round of the Horticulture Innovation Lab's Trellis funding supported 14 projects in 9 countries. See 2013-2014 Trellis factsheet (PDF) for a full list of projects. Initially, 13 new projects were announced and later an additional 14th project was awarded after USAID resumed its agricultural work in Mali. More details are available in a fact sheet (PDF) and press release. An article in CA&ES Outlook magazine also profiled a UC Davis student's experience in Bangladesh with a Trellis project.

Trellis Fund projects in Round 3 took place between July 1, 2013 and Aug. 1, 2014.
