Arizona Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education dollars available now

[Rick Gibson]

Cooperative Extension colleagues,

2014 Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) dollars 
are now available for our use.  Currently there are 7 travel 
scholarships for up to $800 per trip to help defray travel expenses 
to attend and participate in a sustainable agriculture related 
conference or seminar.  Examples might include the Organic 
Agriculture conference in New Mexico, the EcoFarm Conference in 
California, and the sustainable agriculture sessions at the NACAA 
conference this summer in Alabama.  These are only examples.  You 
might have another idea that would fit the requirements posed by the 
SARE program.  These slots will go fast so be sure and reply quickly 
to get an application and hold your travel slot.

Also, new this year are funds set aside to help do up to 6 
sustainable agriculture seminars or conferences here in Arizona 
during 2014.  The funds can be used to help defray meeting expenses 
and to pay travel for Cooperative Extension faculty and staff to 
attend.  One of the 6 needs to be a grant writing workshop and one 
needs to focus on how to work with non governmental 
organizations.  The others are open for discussion and review.  If 
you are interested in helping sponsor one of these seminars, let me know.
