2012 Index Highlights SSARE-Funded Projects

GRIFFIN, Georgia -- Interested in what sustainable agriculture research projects we fund throughout the Southern region? Each year, we release the Index, a compilation of grant-funded final projects and on-going active projects spanning our seven grant programs.

Our 2012 Index is now published. It's an invaluable resource for those interested in sustainable agriculture or who wish to apply for our grants. The Index gives readers a snapshot of the types of projects we fund, as well as provide information on the types of sustainable ag topics that are of interest to farmers, researchers, Extension agents, community organizers, and government and non-government personnel throughout the Southern region.

Look for our 2012 Index Supplement in December that lists final projects and on-going projects to the end of the year that were not included in the initial publication. To read more on the details of each grant project, visit the national SARE projects database and search by the project number.

For copies of previous issues of the Index, visit this page.
