Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education
ContentProgram Description SARE works to increase knowledge about and help farmers and ranchers adopt practices that improve profits, protect the environment and enhance quality of life. To advance such knowledge nationwide, SARE administers a competitive grants program through four regional host institutions based at land-grant universities, under the guidance of regional Administrative Councils composed of farmers and ranchers, agribusiness, university research and extension faculty and administrators, state and federal government agency staff and representatives from non-profit organizations. SARE has funded over 3,000 projects since 1988, including research and education projects, professional development projects, and producer grants in which farmers and ranchers lead on-farm research and education. Other grant opportunities are available in some SARE regions, including grants for graduate students, community development practitioners, and educators conducting on-farm research.
