UC Sustainable Ag Web Site Wins Second National Award

For the second time in two years, the UC Davis-based Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP) has received a national award for its World Wide Web site. This year's silver award comes from Agricultural Communicators in Education (ACE), which particularly noted SAREPÕs user-friendly approach. SAREP received a bronze award last year from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

"We're extremely honored that this award comes from a group focused on agriculture and education," says Jill Shore Auburn, SAREP Associate Director.

SAREP's Web audience consists largely of California farmers and others interested in sustainable agriculture issues, such as researchers, consumers, policy makers, UC administrators and government officials. The site allows users to search for and view information in a database of 400 color images of plants, summaries of dozens of SAREP-funded research projects, hundreds of newsletter articles and calendar entries. The site (http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu) is managed by Joel McKinney, SAREP programmer/analyst.
