** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** TWO MAIN IDEAS GUIDE OUR VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN THE WESTERN REGION:A) THAT FOODSYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX, INVOLVING THE MUTUAL INTERACTION OF AGRICULTURE WITH CLIMATE, NATURALRESOURCES, AND HUMAN FACTORS, AND B) THE RECOGNITION THAT THE REGION IS CULTURALLY,GEOGRAPHICALLY, AND ECOLOGICALLY DIVERSE. AS HOST INSTITUTION, WE AIM TO ENHANCE RESEARCH,EDUCATION, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES AND INCORPORATES THIS COMPLEXITYAND GROGRAPHIC SPREAD. WE ENVISION A PROGRAM WHERE RESEARCHERS, PRODUCERS, EXTENSION EDUCATORS, ANDOTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN ALL AGRICULTURAL SECTORS AND MARKETS, SCALES OF PRODUCTION, AND CULTURALPRACTICES WORK IN PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS REGION-WIDE RESILIENT FOOD SYSTEMS. WE WILL DILIGENTLYPROVIDE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES TO AGRICULTURALSTAKEHOLDERS AND BEGINNING PRODUCERS.IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT HIGH-QUALITY PROJECTS THAT WILL LEAD TOAGRICULTURAL PRACTICES THAT ARE INNOVATIVE, REGIONALLY APPROPRIATE, AND CONSERVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES UPON WHICH AGRICULTURE DEPENDS.$11,255,000

FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS, WESTERN SARE (WSARE) HAS ADVANCED INNOVATIONS THAT IMPROVE PROFITABILITY, STEWARDSHIP, AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN AMERICAN AGRICULTURE. BY FUNDING GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION, WSARE HAS CONSISTENTLY PUT FARMERS, RANCHERS, AND FORESTERS IN THE WESTERN REGION FIRST, IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THEIR MOST PRESSING CHALLENGES, PROTECTING THE NATION'S FOOD, FUEL, AND FIBER SUPPLY, AND SUPPORTING THE PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY, SAFE FOOD FOR CONSUMERS.THIS MISSION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS USDA AND NIFA PRIORITIES BY INVESTING IN DEVELOPING FOOD SYSTEMS THAT ARE RELIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE; FUELING INNOVATION TO KEEP U.S. PRODUCERS AT THE FOREFRONT OF PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY; EXPANDING AND DEVELOPING DOMESTIC MARKETS FOR WESTERN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS; AND INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF AGRICULTURALISTS TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM VITALITY OF AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.WSARE'S PROGRAMS USE A SYSTEMIC, STAKEHOLDER-DRIVEN APPROACH, ENGAGING PRODUCERS, RESEARCHERS, EDUCATORS, AND AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS AT LOCAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS. THIS PROCESS ENSURES THAT SOLUTIONS ARE APPLIED, PRACTICAL, SCIENCE-BASED, AND INFORMED BY THOSE MOST DIRECTLY AFFECTED, WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING THE INTERCONNECTED CHALLENGES OF PROFITABILITY, RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP, AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE.$10,810,187

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE 2023 HOST INSTITUTION RENEWAL FACILITATES CONTINUED EFFORTS TO PROVIDE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND PRINCIPLES TO AMPLIFY AGRICULTURAL RESILIENCY THROUGH THE VARIOUS WESTERN SARE FUNDING PROGRAMS. ATTENTION TO GOALS DESCRIBED IN THIS POW WILL BOLSTER MOST OF THE PRIORITIES OF THE 2023-2026 USDA SCIENCE AND RESEARCH STRATEGY FOR CULTIVATING SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION. THE FIRST STEPS ARE TO REWRITE THE VARIOUS REGIONAL CALLS FOR PROPOSALS (CFPS) TO BROADEN THE SCOPE OF SUBMITTED PROPOSALS, LEVERAGE THE STRENGTHS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL, AND FINALIZE THE REGIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN.IN FY 2024 THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL (AC) WILL VOTE ON A SLATE OF NOMINEES TO HAVE A FULL AC. IN A PARALLEL ACTION, THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE HAS RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THE AC AND WILL UPDATE THE STRATEGIC PLAN DRAFT FOR REVIEW DURING THE SUMMER 2024 MEETING. THESE UPDATES WILL HELP DEVELOP A TECHNICAL REVIEW PANEL TO IDENTIFY THE MOST MERITORIOUS PROPOSALS. THE APPROVED STRATEGIC PLAN COUPLED WITH THE EXPANDED NETWORK OF EDUCATORS GENERATED THROUGH THE SECOND BPASS CONFERENCE WILL SKETCH OUT A ROADMAP TO REACH MORE LOCALITIES AND INDIVIDUALS WITH OUR PROGRAMS.$10,800,240

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** OVER THE PAST 30+ YEARS THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE (NIFA) AGENCY HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION OF PRODUCER DRIVEN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INNOVATIONS THROUGH ITS SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION PROGRAM. AT PRESENT NIFA IS ASKING THE REGIONS TO ELEVATE USDA FY22 RESEARCH OUTCOMES BY ADDRESSING ONE OR MORE OF THE USDA FY 2022 PRIORITIES. TO AID THIS EFFORT WESTERN SARE HAS INITIATED A NEW WORK PLAN THAT WILL CARRY THROUGH 2023. FIRST, IS THE STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORT TO IDENTIFY PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE MORE IMPACTFUL, 2) STRENGTHEN THE STEWARDSHIP OF PRIVATE LANDS THROUGH RESEARCH AND EDUCATION THAT ADVANCESSUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIESFOR AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY (USDA FY22 PRIORITY #1), 3) TO ENHANCE EDUCATION AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AT THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY LEVEL (USDA FY22 PRIORITY #2) AND 4) HELP ALL AMERICANS GAIN BETTER ACCESS TO A SAFE, NUTRITIOUS, AND SECURE FOOD SUPPLY (USDA FY22 PRIORITY #4). A RECENTLY COMPLETED REGIONAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT WILL FEED INTO THE STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORT TO HIGHLIGHT AVENUES THAT CAN BE UNDERTAKEN TO GIVE FARMERS, RANCHERS, AND FOOD PROCESSORS THE INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGIES THEY NEED TO OVERCOME WEAKNESSES IN THE FOOD SYSTEM AND CONTINUE THREE DECADES OF LAND, SOIL, AND WATER SUSTAINABILITY INTO THE NEXT DECADES. NEW AND REFORMATTED WESTERN SARE ACTION PROGRAMS WILL ADDRESS AREAS WHERE THE NEW KNOWLEDGE, PROCESSES AND METHODOLOGIES IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WILL BOOST FARMER/RANCHER LEARNING AND ELEVATE THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF PARTICIPATING SCIENTISTS, FARMERS AND RANCHERS HELPING BOTH TEACHER AND STUDENT FORM A PLATFORM THAT ENHANCES PRODUCER FAMILIESAND COMMUNITIESFOOD SECURITY. CHAPTER 3 IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS EFFORT THROUGH COMPETITIVE GRANTS THAT WILL INCORPORATE RESEARCH OUTCOMES AND LEARNING STYLES INTO TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES GEARED TO ELEVATE THE ADAPTIVE CAPACITY OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS AND MANAGERS ACROSS THE WESTERN US AND THROUGHOUT THE PACIFIC ISLANDS.THE NEEDS OF THE WESTERN REGION ARE LAYERED WITH COMPLEXITY BECAUSE WE SERVE A LARGE, GEOGRAPHICALLYDIVERSE ENVIRONMENT WHERE MULTIPLE CONSERVATION AND PRODUCTION PRACTICES ARE NECESSARY. TO REACH THIS WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS, WE CONTINUE INTEGRATING WESTERN SARE'S CHAPTER 1 (RESEARCH & EDUCATION), CHAPTER 3 (PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT), AND COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS TO FORM AN ADAPTIVE OUTREACH PROCESS. TO THIS END WE HAVE BEGUN A SECOND REGIONAL SURVEY IN AS MANY YEARS. THIS SURVEY IS MEANT TO IDENTIFY TEACHING AND PRESENTATION METHODS THAT CAN BE ADAPTED TO THE BROAD ARRAY OF AGRICULTURISTS, NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGERS AND EDUCATORS IN THE WEST. ACCORDINGLY, IN FY 2022 WE WILL ALLOCATE 25% OF THE SARE REGIONAL HOST INSTITUTION BUDGET TO ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, INCLUDING COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH, AND 75% OF THE BUDGET TO SUPPORT RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUB-AWARDS,(A 70/30 RATIO FOR CHAPTERS 1 AND 3, RESPECTIVELY). TO FURTHER INTEGRATE CHAPTERS 1 AND 3 DURING 2022-2023, WE WILL EXPAND THE PILOT SITE VISIT EFFORT BEGUN THIS PAST YEAR. THESE ON-THE-GROUND VISITS BY STAFF TO PROJECTS NEARING COMPLETION WILL BE USED TO 1) HIGHLIGHT PROJECT OUTCOMES FOR QUICK PUBLICATION BY WESTERN SARE, 2) PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN FINAL REPORT PREPARATION AND 3) LEARN HOW CHAP1 AND 3 CAN WORK IN A MORE COHESIVE MANNER TO AUGMENT DISSEMINATE OF NEW KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGIES.$10,154,828
