Prosperity for sustainable and secure communities will always be a matter of public interest. There is a need to strengthen the capacity of local citizens to be key players in guiding the future of their rural communities; a need to provide resources for local decision makers to make informed choices in addressing regional and national issues; and a need to help families, communities, farms and ranches, and businesses attain prosperity and security. CSREES helps to build rural and community prosperity through research, education, and extension, much of it led by the CSREES Regional Rural Development Centers with their many partners in the university system and in communities across the country. CSREES promotes economic and community development through national program leadership, funding for integrated research, education and extension activities, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.
