Welcome!

FAR^RMS

We are the Foundation for Agricultural and Rural Resources Management and Sustainability (FAR^RMS). Our mission is to further the sustainability of thriving farms and rural communities.

What is “sustainability”?

FAR^RMS has determined "sustainability" to contain the following components:

• Approaches to community and agriculture which foster self renewal, are in harmony with natural cycles and conserve natural resources.
  
• Activities which benefit and nurture the land and rural community.
  
• Activities and approaches which are socially as well as economically just and contribute to the common prosperity of the community.
  
• Cultural and agricultural practices which ensure the health and diversity of the land and the life it supports.

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide educational outreach, research and information on sustainable practices that support agricultural producers and invigorate rural communities.
