Initiated in 1975, STEEP (Solutions To Environmental and Economic Problems) is a
collaborative project involving scientists and educators from the University of
Idaho, Oregon State University, Washington State University, and USDA-Agricultural
Research Service, in cooperation with grower organizations and agricultural support
industries and agencies. STEEP is an interdisciplinary research/education program
focusing on developing profitable cropping systems technologies for controlling
cropland soil erosion and protecting environmental quality. (From STEEP’s website.
Accessed September 10, 2010)
The publications consist primarily of research reports from projects funded by STEEP,
but also includes research proposals and work plans. Items from STEEP's earlier days
include papers discussing what directions (priorities) the program should take/fund
as it proceeded.
The collection is arranged in a single chronological sequence.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Solutions To Environmental and Economic Problems (STEEP) Reports, 1974-2004 (Archives 293)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
The research proposals and reports of Solution to Environmental and Economic Problems
(STEEP) were transferred to Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections at the
Washington State University Libraries by Sheila Brooks of WSU's Agricultural
Research Center in 2010 as part of a publications file (UA 2010-05). These reports
and proposals were separated in 2010.
This collection was processed by University Archivist Mark O'English with assistance
from University of Idaho graduate student Timothy Mace in 2010. A few additioal
items were incorporated in 2026.
