SAFS Update: Welcome to the Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems (SAFS)
Project, Winter/Spring 2006, Vol. 6/No.2 newsletter, which presents research results from
the UC Davis Center for Integrated Farming Systems (CIFS). CIFS is the result of the merger
of the campus’ SAFS project and Long Term Research on Agriculture Systems (LTRAS) project.
The articles here continue our efforts to provide useful information on economically and
ecologically sustainable research and management practices for California growers. We are
pleased to work with the statewide UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education
Program (SAREP) on outreach.
Note: Please join us for our annual field day tentatively
scheduled for late June 2006. Stay tuned.
