Timeline

1930

Robert David Rodale (Cohen) (March 27, 1930 – September 20, 1990) was an American publisher who was president and chief executive officer of Rodale, Inc., a company founded in 1930 by his father J. I. Rodale in Emmaus, Pennsylvania.

Rodale was an adherent of organic farming, regenerative agriculture, and gardening and a publisher focused on health and wellness lifestyle magazines and books.

Rodale was the founder of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome.

Rodale was born in Manhattan in 1930 to J. I. Rodale and Anna Andrews Rodale.

The family moved to Emmaus, Pennsylvania shortly after Robert's birth when J.I. and his brother Joseph established an electrical manufacturing company there.

He had two sisters, Nina and Ruth.

Robert learned the basics of farming and gardening while growing up on the family farm in Emmaus.

1947

He attended Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania from 1947 to 1951, studying English and journalism.

1970

In the 1970s, Robert Rodale played a major role in getting the Pennsylvania state government's attention through his Cornucopia Project, which stimulated the publication of state-level analyses of how readily local demand could be met by local supply.

At a time of increasing energy prices, a new emphasis on eating local became his platform for a more sustainable way of engaging with his community.

1971

He worked alongside his father as president of Rodale Press until his father's death in 1971 during a television interview with Dick Cavett.

1972

Robert was the U.S. representative at the November 5, 1972 founding of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (now IFOAM-Organics International) at Versailles, France.

1990

On September 20, 1990, Rodale was killed in an auto accident in Moscow while in the Soviet Union to establish a Russian language edition of The New Farmer, one of several Rodale Press publications devoted to chemical-free farming.

Also killed in the accident were the Russian publisher of the magazine and Rodale's interpreter.
