What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Professional Development grants provide funding to train agricultural service providers such as Cooperative Extension, state department of agriculture personnel, crop consultants, veterinarians, farm advisors with private businesses, and nonprofit organizations about sustainable practices and approaches so that they, in turn, can educate farmers. These service providers are trained in the latest innovations in agricultural production, marketing, environmental protection, and sustainable rural community development for the ultimate benefit of their farmer clients. Individual project outcomes can be found in annual and final reports submitted to the national reporting database at http://mysare.sare.org/search-projects/. State program funding assists state program coordinators in getting the message out about SARE grant opportunities and in providing trainings for agricultural service providers in their state. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Outreach efforts are meant to induce planning and submission of project proposals that will train service providers in sustainable agriculture so that they can conduct programs that will enhance the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices. These outreach efforts include online and print instructional materials, visible outreach at conferences, and training workshops. Annual and final reports for individual projects were submitted to the national reporting database at http://mysare.sare.org/search-projects/. Projects were also highlighted in Northeast SARE's newsletter, Innovations, and through the Northeast SARE website at www.nesare.org. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

In March 2012 the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program announced 5 Professional Development grants out of 25 preproposals and 8 full proposals reviewed. These grants are described at: http://www.nesare.org/Grants. Reports are available in a searchable database found at http://mysare.sare.org/search-projects/ and at www.nesare.org. In July 2012, state program proposals from 16 land grant institutions were reviewed and 16 were awarded. Annual and final reports were collected on projects. These grants are described at http://www.nesare.org/State-Programs. Professional Development grants provide funding to train agricultural service providers including outreach specialists with cooperative extension, NRCS, state departments of agriculture, and non-profit organizations. These service providers are trained in the latest innovations in agricultural production, marketing, environmental protection, and sustainable rural community development for the ultimate benefit of their farmer clients. Individual project outcomes can be found in annual and final reports submitted to the national reporting database at http://mysare.sare.org/search-projects/. State program funding assists state program coordinators in getting the message out about SARE grant opportunities and in providing trainings for agricultural service providers in their state.

What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?This project provides coordination of the Chapter 3 portion of USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program for the 12 Northeast states and the District of Columbia. The program coordinates sending out of the requests for proposals as well as the review and recommendation process for the Professional Development Program (PDP). The purpose of the PDP program is to enhance the knowledge and capabilities in sustainable agriculture among extension educators and other agricultural service providers working directly with farmers. The program also helps with the development of sustainable agriculture outreach and education capacity among 1862 and 1891 Land Grant institutions in the Northeast region. Annual and final reports will be submitted to the national reporting database at http://mysare.sare.org/search-projects/.
