    Extractions: E-mail: chrisrh@umext.maine.edu T he statewide sustainable agriculture program offers educational opportunities that address economic and environmental aspects of commercial agricultural production systems. We work closely with producers, industry, college faculty and USDA agencies to improve agricultural efficiency and reduce agricultural impacts on the environment. Forage crop management and use, pasture and grazing systems, nutrient management strategies, and soil management and health are all important parts of this educational program. The long-term goals of the sustainable agriculture program are to allow farmers to be financially rewarded for their management decisions, and protect the integrity of resources used in agricultural production.

Driving Directions " . . . committed to the economic, environmental and societal well-being of Minnesota farms." Vision - Agriculture in Minnesota will be based on dynamic, flexible farming systems that are profitable, efficient, productive and founded on ethics of land stewardship and responsibility for the continuing vitality of local rural communities. Minnesotans will strive to understand and respect the complex interconnectedness of living systems, from soil to people, so as to protect and enhance all natural resources for future generations. Minnesota agriculture will sustain an abundance of food and other products as well as meaningful, self-directed employment that supports the quality of life desired by farmers and rural communities. Agriculture will foster diversity in all its forms of production, products, markets and cultures.

    Extractions: The ultimate goal of WSAA is to promote sustainable farming, food distribution, consumption, and biocycling systems throughout the world. We promote systems and public policies that enhance local and regional food security, in ways that are economically viable, socially just, and environmentally harmonious with Nature. WSAA's activities are guided by an operational definition of sustainable agriculture adapted from Fred Kirschenmann's "New Paradigm for Agriculture," (based on Meadows) which he presented at a recent Board of Directors meeting. We consider the agriculture of a specific farm, region, or nation is sustainable if it has the following attributes: Does not use non-renewable resources any faster than substitutes become available and economically feasible. Does not use renewable resources any faster than Nature can regenerate them. Does not generate pollution or waste products any faster than Earth's planetary sinks can absorb, disipate, or disperse them. Safeguards inter-generational equity, respecting the needs of future gen- erations.

93. Janet Luhrs - Voluntary Simplicity Study Circles
    Article from In Context on Janet Luhrs' study circles in sustainable agriculture and voluntary simplicity.  
    http://www.context.org/ICLIB/IC33/Luhrs.htm
    
    Extractions: In early spring of 1991, Cecile Andrews, director of continuing education at North Seattle Community College called IN CONTEXT to ask whether we would be interested in helping her form study circles to discuss issues of humane, sustainable culture. We said "Yes," and the first study circle gathering, comprised mostly of our subscribers, chose IC #26, "What Is Enough?," to study. Thus were born the Voluntary Simplicity Study Circles. In January 1992, Cecile offered a workshop on voluntary simplicity to the general public (through North Seattle Community College). Though she was expecting about 20 people to enroll, 175 came. Over 200 came to the next workshop. At the end of each workshop, Cecile forms study circles: she organizes the participants into neighborhood groupings, gives each of them their copy of IN CONTEXT and they're off - meeting weekly in each other's homes.

By drawing on its own lessons learned and on 30+ reviewers’ input SANREM is producing NWP versions adapted to Asian and Latin American context. Download NWP, Send Comments A workshop to share research findings and lessons learned during Phase II (1997-2003) was held in Washington DC on June 16th 2004. The presentations featured results from biophysical and socioeconomic research, methodological tools and approaches, and experiences in institutional capacity building that have potential for transfer and scaling up.

98. Journal Of Sustainable Agriculture
    The Journal of sustainable agriculture is primarily for audiences in agriculture—researchscientists who work for the USDA and state agricultural research  
    http://www.haworthpress.com/web/JSA/
    
    Extractions: This professional journal is devoted specifically and entirely to the rapidly growing field of sustainable agriculture. Published by Food Products Press and edited by Raymond P. Poincelot, a leading scholar and author in the field, the Journal of Sustainable Agriculture focuses on new and unique systems in which resource usage and environmental protection are kept in balance with the needs of productivity, profits, and incentives that are necessary for the agricultural marketplace. It increases professional and public awareness and gains support for these necessary changes in our agricultural industry. This timely journal examines our current agricultural industry and the threat to its resource base. The goal is to promote the study and application of sustainable agriculture for solutions to the problems of resource depletion and environmental misuse. Unless these problems are resolved, our soil, water, and energy resources will be insufficient to maintain agricultural productivity very far into the future.
