The goal of the Center's research program is to learn how particular integrated farming systems can contribute to environmental, economic, social, and intergenerational sustainability. Our research has shown that farmers can cut costs, increase profits, and improve their quality of life while enhancing the environment.
Through our research projects, we aim to help farmers capture a larger share of the consumer food dollar. Part of our work is to develop and assess visions of alternative food systems and look at the socioeconomics of the existing food system.
Our research program is unique because of our commitment to involve citizens and academics, representing many disciplines and professions, as equal partners on our research teams.
While our work benefits small and medium size farms, many of our research projects can help any farm or food-related business, regardless of scale.
