Cornell Coopertive

Cornell Cooperative Extension Suffolk County fosters agricultural stewardship and education, focusing on practices that safeguard water quality and enhance environmental sustainability. Through collaboration with local farmers and various agricultural and environmental organizations, the program aims to maintain a viable agricultural industry on Long Island while promoting environmentally responsible farming techniques.

Since its inception in 2004, the Agricultural Stewardship Program has provided extensive resources, research, and on-farm demonstrations, facilitating the adoption of innovative practices such as controlled slow-release nitrogen fertilizers and integrated pest management strategies. Educational events, including field days and workshops, equip farmers with the knowledge to adopt best management practices, ensuring the long-term health of both the environment and the agricultural sector.
