The mission of the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program is to enhance sustainable agriculture in the Northeast. It focuses on promoting practices that are profitable, enhance environmental stewardship, improve the quality of life for farmers and farm communities, and support diversified and healthful agricultural products. The program aims for agriculture that wisely manages resources, is satisfied with farming lifestyles, and exerts a positive influence on communities and the environment.
The Research and Education Grant program by Northeast SARE funds projects that aim to increase farmer knowledge, awareness, skills, and attitudes leading to measurable on-farm changes toward greater sustainability. Projects should focus on influencing farmer behavior change and include an educational program for farmers targeting specific changes in practices, behaviors, or conditions expected from the project. Topics may range from marketing, crop production, livestock, aquaculture, to social sustainability, and urban and Indigenous agriculture. The program encourages proposals that focus on climate-smart agriculture practices to increase resilience to climate change, enhance carbon sequestration, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, alongside traditional ecological knowledge. However, it's important to note that there will be a one-year pause on calls for proposals to focus on implementing Northeast SARE's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) strategic plan.
