New Jersey State Programs

The Northeast SARE region supports sustainable agriculture initiatives at each of the sixteen land grant universities in the Northeast. The New Jersey SARE state program is housed at the University of New Jersey.

State Coordinator

New Jersey initiatives

State programs promote the adoption of sustainable farming techniques and awareness of SARE funding, project results, training, and other opportunities. Yet these state programs also vary quite a lot in content and direction, reflecting the needs and challenges of farmers and farm service providers within that particular state. Some states also work cooperatively, sharing resources and personnel, when they have issues and goals in common.

State initiatives are funded annually and competitively, which allows each state to respond quickly to local changes in production, marketing, and educational priorities. Read more about this state's program initiatives.
