Proposals Sought for SARE Outreach Projects

Do you have an idea for an outreach product or educational resource that could help farmers or ranchers improve their profitability, environmental stewardship or quality of life? Maybe a suggestion for filling an information gap that is preventing the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices? If so, we want to hear from you! Submit ideas by June 15, 2026.
SARE Outreach is seeking recommendations for information products that we can develop to extend practical, research-based innovations to improve the sustainability of American agriculture. Please submit your ideas using the link below by June 15th.

Submit your ideas by June 15!

SARE’s outreach resources should advance SARE-funded research or projects and help farmers solve their most pressing challenges. Based on a strong interest in the following topics by recent SARE grantees, we encourage ideas in these categories: Farm Business Management: Practices that expand domestic farm markets, especially those that include value-added processing, e-commerce, or development of facilities or new enterprises.
Crop Production: Water use strategies that relieve farming systems from stress like drought or flooding. Topics can also include efficient irrigation, precision technologies, or general conservation management.
Pest Management: Integrated techniques to manage pests using low-input, full-system approaches in crops.
Aquaculture: Marine or freshwater production of fish, shellfish or aquatic plants for food or other commercial purposes.

Submissions from these priority areas are preferred, but publishing ideas on other sustainable agriculture topics are welcome. Please submit any ideas that meet our broader criteria below. (Visit https://projects.sare.org to browse other topics funded by SARE.)

Proposed products should:Support SARE’s mission to advance practical innovations that improve profitability, stewardship and quality of life
Extend SARE-funded research or projects
Address a critical gap in the information needs of farmers, ranchers and/or the educators who serve them
Illustrate principles of sustainable management that can be adapted for widespread practice

Previous SARE Outreach products have included manuals, bulletins, fact sheets and videos demonstrating sustainable practices at work.
