Center for Agricultural Development and Entrepreneurship (CADE)

CADE works to increase the “Triple Bottom Line” of agricultural development by:

● Increasing profit margins of farm business through efficient production systems, effective marketing and distribution programs and sound business principles;
● Promoting sound environmental production practices such as low input, organic, grass-based livestock production, watershed runoff protection, and improved distribution of the lower “food-miles” thus reducing energy consumption; and
● Engendering positive social outcomes such as job creation, generational farm transition, positive connections between farmers and consumers, health benefits of local foods, and locally circulating dollars.
