Sustainable agriculture is a way for food producers to increase profits and improve communities while taking good care of the air, water and soil. Sustainability can be approached and successful in many ways.
The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program (SARE) has produced a booklet describing some techniques used by producers throughout our country. Some examples include:
- Grazing
- Cover crops
- On-farm energy conservation and production
- Marketing
- Conservation tillage
- Riparian buffers
This resource is designed as an introduction and inspiration into the concepts of sustainable agriculture. It can be downloaded for free. Print copies are also available.
