The U.S. Virgin Islands Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) is a
professional development program sponsored by the Southern Region SARE and coordinated
by the University of the Virgin Islands.
We work together to deliver a program that enhances the environmental, social, and
economic sustainability of the state through research and education. U.S. Virgin Islands
SARE partners with researchers, extension faculty, producers, and community organizations
to research and implement the best science-based practices available in all aspects
of the Virgin Islands agricultural system. In addition to research, SARE is dedicated
to providing education in sustainable agriculture through various training offered
each year.
Our SARE State Coordinator is vital for expanding sustainable agriculture training
for Extension, NRCS, and other ag professionals who will then help producers transition
to a more sustainable agriculture.
SARE has awarded numerous grants in every state and Island Protectorate. Aimed at
advancing sustainable innovations, these grants add up to an impressive portfolio
of sustainable agriculture efforts across the nation. Read more in the following grant
