UF / IFAS Hastings Extension

UF / IFAS Hastings Extension UF/IFAS Hastings is a partnership between the University of Florida, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and city and county governments.

The Florida Partnership for Water, Agriculture, and Community Sustainability at Hastings is a UF/IFAS demonstration unit. It was conceived by a coalition of local farmers, business leaders, and politicians in 2004 as a way to address growth and sustainability issues that were affecting northeast Florida, one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. The Partnership serves several audiences and p

erform multiple functions. The center uses "living" displays to educate extension clientele on alternative practices such as low-impact development (LID), Florida-friendly landscaping principles, alternative crops, and sustainable commercial agricultural practices, as well as traditional practices in agriculture, landscaping, water quality and use, and land management. The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is a federal-state-county partnership dedicated to developing knowledge in agriculture, human and natural resources, and the life sciences, and enhancing and sustaining the quality of human life by making that information accessible. While extending into every community of the state, UF/IFAS has developed an international reputation for its accomplishments in teaching, research and extension. Because of this mission and the diversity of Florida’s climate and agricultural commodities, IFAS has facilities located throughout Florida.
