Fellows Program
The SARE/NACAA Sustainable Agriculture Fellows program enhances understanding of sustainable agriculture through broad-based training and hands-on exposure to successful and unique sustainable agriculture programs. Participating fellows are better able to create new programs that meet the needs of their local clientele.
The program aims to:
- Enhance selected fellows’ capability to deliver sustainable agriculture programs
- Develop NACAA leaders committed to sustainable agriculture who can share their knowledge
- Increase agricultural professionals’ awareness of program opportunities and concepts of sustainable agriculture
- Recognize NACAA members who are leaders in the development and adoption of sustainable agriculture
A series of seminars exposes the fellows to sustainable farming and ranching systems, with a focus on basic sustainable agriculture strategies and how they work in the field. Fellows also visit selected farms and ranches to view firsthand the sustainable agriculture principles studied in the classroom.
