The Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society promotes an agriculture
that builds healthy land, people, communities and quality of life, for present
and future generations. Our priorities are to:
- Support farmers currently using sustainable agriculture practices.
- Educate consumers about sustainable gardening and food production
practices.
- Educate youth about sustainable agriculture.
- Inform and educate farmers using conventional practices.
- Promote research and demonstration of sustainable agriculture practices.
- Assist beginning farmers.
Our activities include an Annual Meeting and Western Nebraska
Sustainable Agriculture Conference, farm tours, field days, and workshops. We
have a speakers' bureau and a team of mentors who can provide one-on-one
assistance with the transition to sustainable farming practices. The quarterly
NSAS newsletter presents sustainable agriculture practices and philosophy. Past
issues have focused on a wide range of topics including crop rotations,
management-intensive grazing, direct marketing, and encouraging wildlife on
farms. A directory of NSAS members and sustainable agriculture resources is
published every other year. NSAS distributes the Direct Marketing Resource
Notebook, which is published by the Midwest Sustainable Agriculture Working
Group
