Background

Founded to address the pressing need for sustainable agricultural practices, the Florida Research Center for Agricultural Sustainability, Inc (FLARES) has established itself as a pivotal institution in the field. Over the years, it has formed partnerships with local growers, governmental agencies, universities, and private corporations to advance agricultural sustainability.

The center emphasizes best management practices that protect the environment, ensuring that agricultural methods are both productive and ecologically sound.

The Rest

The center's collaborative approach involves working closely with various stakeholders to implement and refine innovative agricultural techniques. This cooperative model not only enhances the practical applicability of their research but also fosters a community dedicated to sustainable agriculture.
