The Community Food Systems and Sustainable Agriculture Program of the University of Missouri and Lincoln University's goal is to sustain a desirable quality of life for people through agricultural systems that are ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible. Through our state partnerships, and the North Central Region, Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, we conduct educational programs and conferences, assist the Sustaining People through Agriculture Network and other Missouri farm organizations, serve on the leadership council for the Sustainable Food and Farming Systems Focus Team, and administer the Missouri Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Awards Program. We believe strongly in serving the needs of the farmers of Missouri, and involve farmers at every level of planning and programming as trainers and guides.
