Kansas

• Kansas Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Alternative Crops (KCSAAC) http://www.kansassustainableag.org/
• The Land Institute, in Salinas, Kansas has worked for over 20 years on agriculture. Its purpose is to "develop an agricultural system with the ecological stability of the prairie and a grain yield comparable to that from annual crops." http://www.landinstitute.org/vnews/display.v

Minnesota

• Elwell Agroecology Farm (EAF), University of Minnesota, Southwest Research and Outreach Center, http://swroc.coafes.umn.edu/organic/eaf/eaf.htm

Pennsylvania

• Pasture Systems and Watershed Management Unit has a mission to conduct research to develop and transfer economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable management systems for northeastern grazing and cropping enterprises. http://pswmru.arsup.psu.edu/

South Carolina

• Agroecology Program - Clemson University - The Agroecology Team is a group of scientists from Clemson University and the USDA-ARS who are conducting research focused on the issues and problems associated with crop production that are multi-commodity, multi-disciplinary, and regional in scope. The overall goal of the group is to develop cropping systems that will improve soil quality, crop productivity, and environmental conservation on the southeastern Coastal Plain. Research activities include both short- and long-term studies, and both conventional and innovative outreach programs are conducted to communicate the results. http://agroecology.clemson.edu/

Washington

• Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources, Washington State University. http://csanr.wsu.edu/

Wisconsin

• Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems. http://www.cias.wisc.edu/
• Discovery Farms, a partnership with cooperation from the State of Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin System, Extension, agencies and several farm organizations. http://www.discoveryfarms.org/.
