Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Agricultural Prosperity for Small and Medium-sized Farms
Small and medium-sized farms are challenged by limited economic opportunities and increasing concerns about environmental quality, as indicated by their low value of agricultural products sold, decreasing share of the food dollar, and the perceived trade-off between agricultural sustainability and economic viability. In recent years, these challenges have been magnified by changes in market conditions caused by tremendous demographic shifts, new global markets and vertical integration, and the increasing competition for farm land for non-agricultural uses. Therefore, the purpose of this program is to foster interdisciplinary projects that enhance interactions between the economic and environmental components important to the long-term viability, competitiveness and efficiency of small and medium-sized farms (including social, biological and other components, if necessary).
