Sustainable Agriculture
Research and Education
The goals of the SARE Program are to:
• satisfy human food and fiber needs;
• enhance environmental quality and the natural resource upon which the agricultural economy depends;
• prevent agricultural pollution;
• make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources and integrate appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls;
• sustain the economic viability of farm operations; and
• enhance quality of life for farmers, rural communities, and society as a whole.
The purpose of the SARE Professional Development Program is to establish state and regional programs through which Extension and other USDA field personnel will learn about sustainable agricultural concepts and techniques, and who in turn educate agricultural producers and rural and urban people about sustainable agriculture.
