NSRC aims to develop field level applications to restore habitats, habitants and ecosystems while working with the local community.  The Center’s current projects include forestry, biodiversity conservation, bioremediation, and wetlands and coral reef restoration.  This website does not provide specifics about their research projects. 

FiBL is committed to the international development of organic agriculture through research and knowledge transfer.  Based in Switzerland, FiBL has international offices in Germany and Austria and partners with organizations around the world.  The Institute has eight research divisions: Horticultural Sciences, Entomology, Animal Health, Animal Husbandry, Food Quality and Safety, Plant Protection and Biodiversity, Socio-economics and Soil Sciences.

The Scale Effects in Alternative Agricultural Systems (SCALE) analysis project within SPRU is aimed at studying the effects of alternative methods of agricultural cultivation, such as organic farming, and the factors that drive their adoption.  The project compares organic and conventional farms and researches bird, invertebrate and plant biodiversity; soil physical properties; ease of soil working; water infiltration rates; soil erosion among others.

SEAE es una asociación con el propósito de aglutinar los esfuerzos de agricultores, técnicos, científicos y de otras personas, encaminados hacia el desarrollo de sistemas sustentables de producción agraria, fundamentados en los principios ecológicos y socioeconómicos promovidos por los movimientos de Agricultura Ecológica. Los fines de la sociedad son Fomentar, coordinar y facilitar la investigación, enseñanza, asesoramiento y la difusión de todos los aspectos relacionados con la Agricultura Ecológica y el Desarrollo Rural Sostenible; organizar curso y otros eventos formativos destinados a los distintos agentes del sector de la agricultura ecológica; Promover el desarrollo y mejora de las técnicas de la Agricultura Ecológica; Desarrollar la Cooperación Internacional, destinada a fomentar los fines anteriores.

SIDT is a community project of the FSPI aimed at rehabilitating reefs through coral gardening.  The project focuses on restoring reef areas degraded by coral harvesting and rehabilitating and restoring fish habitats damaged by harmful fishing methods.  In the past, the project involved training for coral farming, but currently, the cultured corals are used for restoration work.

The Spannocchia Foundation’s mission is to encourage global dialogue about sustaining cultural landscapes for future generations.  Some of its areas of interest include natural resource conservation, local ecology, sustainable agriculture and forestry, traditional land management practices, and farm based education.  The Spannocchia Foundation’s activities occur at its estate in a protected area in Maine.  Activities include study tours, tourism, cultural programs, conservation programs, and organic farming. 

Under the auspices of the Sustainable Agriculture Program, the Sustainable Agriculture Network is an international coalition of conservation groups ensuring that farmers protect wildlife and wild lands.  Promoted farming methods include reducing water pollution, soil erosion, agrochemical use, and waste production, as well as wildlife habitat protection.  The Network is most active in countries in the tropics. 

The Organic Agriculture Program combines both research and teaching and is spread between four campuses.  Research is carried out by six different groups: Soils; Horticulture – Field Crops; Urban Agriculture – Livestock; Urban Agriculture – Environment; Social Justice – Marketing and Economics; and Rural Communities.
