Since its inception 30 years ago, the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program has had a profound and positive impact on U.S. agriculture through its farmer-driven approach to research and education funding.
Every aspect of the SARE program engages farmers and ranchers at the local and regional level, from establishing funding priorities to conducting research to sharing research results. This innovative approach has allowed SARE to channel millions of grant dollars toward production and marketing practices that bring direct benefit to local farmers and ranchers, their communities and the nation's land and water resources.
