This program offers grants to farmers to explore new concepts in sustainable agriculture through experiments, surveys, prototypes, on-farm demonstrations, or other research and education techniques.
Topics eligible for funding include marketing and business, crop production, raising livestock, social sustainability, climate-smart agriculture practices, urban and Indigenous agriculture, and more.
All types and scales of farms — large or small scale, organic or conventional, urban or rural — can apply. Farm business owners as well as farm employees, whether full- or part-time, can apply.
The maximum grant award was increased to $30,000.
“As recent Chair of the Northeast SARE Administrative Council, I was thrilled to shepherd in a doubling of the amount of grant funding farmers could apply for. This is the first season this increased amount is available. I hope all farmers will consider applying for this opportunity!" Said Hannah Smith-Brubaker, Pasa Sustainable Agriculture Executive Director
