The SARE program, funded by USDA, promotes sustainable farming and ranching. This program offers competitive grants and educational opportunities for producers, scientists, educators, institutions, organizations, and others exploring sustainable agriculture. Contact the Regional Coordinators for information on research opportunities, conferences, training sessions, publications, and networking opportunities. Additionally, SARE's Professional Development Program (PDP) provides sustainable agriculture education and outreach strategies for Cooperative Extension agents, Natural Resources Conservation Service staff, and others working directly with farmers and ranchers. Examples of selected projects from the SARE program are highlighted here: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/nea/ag_systems/sri/sustain_ag_sri_sare.html. Area SARE contacts are listed below.
