The Florida Research Center for Agricultural Sustainability, Inc., works to ensure economic production of food and fiber crops through application of technologies derived from science-based research in production systems that avoid resource depletion or permanent damage to ecosystems. In collaboration with local growers, governmental agencies, universities, and private corporations, the Center researches, develops, field tests, and promotes new cultural practices, fertilization techniques, pest management strategies, and other best management practices that protect the environment. These new cultural practices are integrated into their sustainable citrus management program where they grow Minneola Tangelos, Red Ray Ruby Red Grapefruit, Persian Limes, Key Limes, Finger Limes, Bearrs Lemons and Hirado Pink Pummelos. They also have Tropic Beauty peaches and pomegranates under evaluation as an alternative crop to citrus. They are located in the heart of the Indian River Citrus District where some of the best citrus in the world is grown.
