- The USDA Sustainable Agricultural Systems Laboratory (SASL) determines
principles and practices that support the development of sustainable
agricultural systems. Emphasis is placed on multi-disciplinary research to
understand fundamental agro-ecological processes underlying the functioning of
sustainable systems. Communication with the community of growers, suppliers,
information specialists, and consumers that value sustainable agriculture is
integral to the definition of research problems and the transfer of technology.
