Sarasota Farms - A Community Supported Agricultural Project

About Us - A Local Project With Global Impact

Sarasota Farms is a program of The Global Peace Project Agricultural Research Center, located here in Sarasota, Florida. We are a 501-C-3, charitable, scientific, and educational Florida corporation. We are a member of the United Nations Association of the United States of America.

We facilitate the implementation of the purposes of the United Nations as set forth in Agenda 21, Chapter 14, adopted by the plenary in Rio de Janeiro, on June 14, 1992

We are focused on the ability of organic technology to solve current environmental, health and economic problems. Extensive scientific research conducted by NASA and the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Control demonstrates the need to prevent fast approaching future crises.

The Global Peace Project has conducted extensive research and educational outreach programs emphasizing intensive, low-tech natural approaches to economic development, disease prevention, and environmental restoration through farming.

For twenty five years, the Global Peace Project has conducted extensive research at our own Agricultural Research Centers at Cascade Farms, NC, Raindrop Farms, MD, Sunridge Farms, FL, and Sarasota Farms, FL.

The result of this collective research: The Global Peace Project has viable agricultural systems transferable to any geographical region or climate in the world. (see our ground-breaking accomplishments so far).

Our research provides powerful insight into the root causes of poverty, hunger, disease and environmental destruction. We are discovering the interconnected relationship between these global issues. Both the issues and the solutions have been thoroughly examined by leading experts all over the world for several decades.

What is missing is decisive and collective action consistently directed toward rational solutions. These solutions are practical, well thought out, and working now around the world in the areas where they are used. The only missing component delaying these profound, life-saving technologies from protecting humanity is simply the will to act.

Our Mission

The purpose of the Global Peace Project is to establish a network of Agricultural Research Centers worldwide. These centers will promote and demonstrate the following scientific practices:

	Organic farming

	Topsoil reconstruction

	Integrated pest management

	Advanced plant nutrition

	Marketing and business management support

	Direct farmer to consumer cooperative

Sarasota Farms also strives to provide permanent, effective solutions for both small and large-scale farm systems. We will create an ongoing educational outreach program, consisting of seminars in the community and an onsite training program. We will prepare and implement programs leading to the reclamation of damaged topsoil and the conservation of areas at risk. We will improve the management and utilization of land resources, and preserve topsoil fertility for sustainable agricultural development.

We will continue to develop technology and make it available to farmers, extension agents, planners, and policy makers. We will demonstrate sustainable strategies to manage topsoil fertility. We will support farmers who wish to transfer to sustainable agriculture systems.

The consumer and the community at large will enjoy the benefits of knowing the farmer and the source of their food. They will receive fresher food, cleaner food, and reduce their overall environmental impact. The farmer will enjoy higher profits, direct relationships with consumers, and healthier topsoil.
