According to Janet Gamble - Michael Fields Agricultural Institute is devoted to developing an agriculture that can sustain the land and its resources. As a public non-profit organization, it strives to revitalize farming through research, education, technical assistance and public policy. Michael Fields Agricultural Institute is a response to America's waning number of farmers over the past few hundred years. It is a response to the needs of the human race from the agricultural resources that sustain life on this planet. Through education and research, Michael Fields seeks to help both urban and rural populations meet common problems. We seek to address problems we face as a people who vitally need a sustainable agriculture: - How our food is grown. - Who grows our food. - Whether growing food is a profitable enterprise. - Fertility of the soil. - Purity of water. - Conservation of the Earth's resources. - Sustainability of farming practices, food production and food distribution.
