FARM BASED EDUCATION PROGRAM
Many farmers are interested in various aspects of sustainable agriculture, but lack practical information or skills to make it work with their own operation. PASA actively promotes Farm-Based Education (FBE) Programs which promote and demonstrate sustainable and organic farming methods. The FBE Program provides funding, technical support, event coordination, and publicity to farmer/cooperators who wish to initiate and demonstrate sustainable farming practices that have educational value for other farmers. This farmer-driven approach has been highly successful in implementing ecologically sound, more economically viable farming methods across the state.
