Since 1984, the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute has been devoted to developing an agriculture that can sustain the land and its resources. As a public, non-profit learning center, the Institute seeks to revitalize farming with research, education, technical assistance and public policy. MFAI and CIAS have collaborated on numerous projects, including the Wisconsin Integrated Cropping Systems Trial.
