Welcome to the Guam Sustainable Agriculture Resource Web!

This web site has been created by the UOG Cooperative Extension Service to provide information and resources dealing with various sustainable agricultural practices, particularly as they relate to the Pacific island regions.

Sustainable agriculture refers to the ability of a farm to produce food perpetually. Two key issues are 1) long-term effects of various practices on soil properties and processes essential for crop productivity, and 2) the long-term availability of inputs. Practices that can cause long-term damage to soil include excessive tillage (leading to erosion) and irrigation without adequate drainage (leading to accumulation of salt in the soil).
