Sustainable Agriculture Program

The first Sustainable Agriculture Undergraduate Program in the U.S.

—Established in 1988

Here's what SAG students have to say about the program...

"My experiance in the SAG program at UMaine has been very positive. The faculty are more than happy to go above and beyond to advise students, the classes are always worthwhile, and the opportunities after graduation are endless. I am completely happy with my choice of major and school."

—Lauren, Junior

"The Sustainable Ag program has helped me understand the economics of agriculture from local, and world prospectives. From Intro to Plant Science through our senior capstone course, the professors in this program have been enthusiastic about the information presented to us and about our success in the program. This program strives to challenge each student to show each of us that the extent of our abilities as students and of knowledgable people goes beyond what we felt we were capable of doing. Overall, the Sustainable Agriculture program, with small, intimate class sizes and many knowledgable professors, provides emphasis on leadership and self-confidence in each student's knowledge base as they prepare to enter the field of agricultural production and/or research."
