CSARE Fact Sheet
Mission: Promoting an agricultural research and education system that supports farmers and ranchers, rural communities, community based food systems and environmental stewardship through individual, institutional and policy level work.
Your Member Dues Supports CSARE’s Pioneering Work:
- CSARE believes that today’s students are tomorrow’s faculty, extension educators, deans and directors in our public research and extension system. We advise and support the newly formed North Central Network of Sustainable Agriculture Students and are creating a graduate- level Sustainable Agriculture Fellows Program.
- CSARE recognizes outstanding researchers in sustainable agriculture through its annual 7th Generation Award.
- CSARE is engaged in a national initiative to target and increase funding for research and technical assistance to mid-sized farms and agricultural food enterprises.
- CSARE is teaming-up with scientific societies to cultivate their members’ growing interests in sustainable agriculture and community-based food systems. CSARE will be leading roundtable discussions at the Tri-Societies (Soils Science, Agronomy and Crop Science) 7,000 member annual meeting.
- CSARE recruits and promotes sustainable agriculture advocates to influential federal policy and decision-making bodies and peer review panels.
- CSARE publishes Inquiry in Action, an electronic news magazine featuring cutting-edge sustainable agriculture research and education efforts around the nation. (www.csare.org)
