Sustainable Agriculture Education

SAGE was founded in 2001 to protect and revitalize urban-edge agriculture, support and diversify the sustainable farming population, and connect diverse urban communities with the people and places that grow their food.

Through our two linked programs – Urban-Edge Agricultural Revitalization and Urban-Rural Connections – SAGE works to revitalize agricultural places that sustain, contain and define cities and to connect urban and rural communities for their mutual benefit.

Our goals:

• Cultivate urban-edge places that model sustainable agriculture integrated with resilient communities
• Broaden the community of supporters for urban-edge farming
• Provide expertise, resources, tools and convening opportunities that advance vibrant regional agriculture and equitable food systems and help farmers thrive
