The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) is a US based alliance of farm, rural development, and conservation groups that organized in 1988 to affect federal agriculture policy. NSAC’s vision of agriculture is one where a safe, nutritious, ample, and affordable food supply is produced by a legion of family farmers who make a decent living pursuing their trade, while protecting the environment, and contributing to the strength and stability of their communities.

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition:

gathers input from sustainable and organic farmers and ranchers, and from a diverse group of grassroots farm, rural, and conservation organizations that work directly with farmers;
develops policy through participatory issue committees that involve NSAC member organizations and allies;
provides direct representation in Washington, D.C. on behalf of its membership to members of Congress and other federal administrative offices, such as USDA and EPA; and
builds the power of the sustainable agriculture movement by strengthening the capacity of its member groups to promote citizen engagement in the policy process.
