Minnesota SARE is funded by a grant from the North Central Region SARE office.  Funds are to be used for sustainable agriculture education and outreach in Minnesota, with emphasis on supporting educator professional development in sustainable agriculture.

The grant funds also support a coordinator in each state in the region.    The coordinator works with an advisory committee to assess needs in the state, then write and execute a Plan of Work.  An annual report on activities documents progress in implementing the Plan of Work.
