Note: Curriculum Plans should establish C/P Team targets to be addressed collectively by team faculty and program staff during the next four program years (FY1998-FY2001)

Note: Curriculum Plans should establish C/P Team targets to be addressed collectively by team faculty and program staff during the next three program years (FY1999-FY2001). Personal Performance Plans should include an individual faculty and/or program staff member’s contribution to meeting team targets. If a specific program or activity crosses national goal areas (e.g. Agriculture and Agriculture and Natural Resource Harmony, report only to that one area that is considered the primary focus.)

Part 2. GPRA Planning
National GPRA Goal Area(s)	4	To achieve greater harmony (balance) between agriculture (production activities) and (stewardship and protection of) the environment.
National GPRA Objective(s)	4.1	To develop, transfer, and promote the adoption of efficient and sustainable agricultural, forestry, and other resource conservation policies, programs, technologies, and practices that ensure ecosystems integrity and biodiversity.
National GPRA Performance Goal(s) and Indicators	4.1.1	To annually increase the research and knowledge-base available from CSREES partners and cooperators on environmental sciences and agriculture, including conserving, maintaining, and protecting ecosystem integrity and biodiversity.
	Indicators
	4.1.1a	In the Plan, describe significant research underway or proposed on environmental sciences and related topics.
	Plan:
	4.1.2	To annually increase agricultural producer awareness, understanding, and information regarding the adoption of agricultural production practices that sustain and/or protect ecosystem integrity and biodiversity in which CSREES partners and cooperators play an active research, education, and extension role.
