Graduate Student Examples

This is a new grant offering, without any history, but we anticipate that successful proposals will address questions in sustainable agriculture that are important to farmers, Cooperative Extension staff, and agricultural researchers.

Grant topics in other SARE regions

Graduate student awards in other SARE regions encompass a wide range of topics, from pest management to farm energy production to the institutional purchase of local food. You should feel free to propose work on a wide range of research topics in sustainable agriculture with a clear emphasis on work that will potentially benefit farmers and agricultural service providers.
