Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network

Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network’s (ASAN) mission is to support conservation practices, families who grow and consume natural food and fiber, and the communities where they live.
ASAN members believe that by providing educational opportunities for Alabama’s farmers and ranchers and by educating both consumers and agricultural professionals about sustainable agriculture, we can improve the lives of small farmers and rural and urban communities and make a positive contribution to the state’s environment and health. ASAN defines “Sustainable Agriculture” as farming that supports families and communities while conserving natural resources.
