Agricultural Innovations are topic-specific fact sheets written by project leaders on successful SARE-funded projects. Designed for farmers and agricultural educators seeking specific production information, the peer reviewed series highlights sustainable agriculture systems that improve profitability, enhance the environment, and strengthen local communities. SARE hopes to move relevant production information from project reports into the hands of extension educators and farmers.
