The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE)

The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Program is a U.S. initiative that promotes farming practices balanced with environmental health, economic viability, and social responsibility. It funds research and education to develop methods that improve crop yields, conserve resources, and protect ecosystems, while supporting farmers’ livelihoods. SARE encourages innovative, sustainable techniques that reduce reliance on chemical inputs, enhance soil health, and improve resilience to climate change. By fostering collaboration among farmers, researchers, and educators, SARE aims to ensure agriculture is productive, environmentally sound, and sustainable for future generations.
