Welcome to the Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems (SAFS) Project, Fall 2006, Vol.7/No.1 newsletter, which presents research results from the UC Davis Center for Integrated Farming Systems’ (CIFS) sustainable agriculture project. It is produced in cooperation with the statewide UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program. These articles continue our efforts to provide information on economically and ecologically sustainable research and management practices for California growers. To increase our contact with growers, we are considering a fall or winter research update meeting.
We are also very pleased to announce that the SAFS/CIFS research team has received an additional $188,000 to continue water quality research and economic/ecological assessments of winter cover crop and conservation tillage practices from the CalFed program.
