About National Home*A*Syst

Home*A*Syst is a companion project of the Farm Assessment System (Farm*A*Syst). Farm*A*Syst pioneered the system of self-assessments on which Home*A*Syst is based. Home*A*Syst and Farm*A*Syst are national programs supported by the USDA Cooperative Research Education and Extension Service, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The national Farm*A*Syst/Home*A*Syst office provides guidelines and educational support to states. Each state and territory has a primary contact for the development and implementation of Farm*A*Syst/Home*A*Syst programs.
