Since 2014 SAFSF has pursued a two-part strategy of engagement with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) to:

Increase public-sector understanding and support for sustainable and organic agriculture and food systems that foster diversity, equity and inclusion; and
Connect public and private funding partners to strengthen funding opportunities for sustainable and organic agriculture and food system initiatives.

Nearly a dozen SAFSF member organizations provided financial support in 2019 for the participation of staff, members, and on-the-ground practitioners in NASDA’s regional and national convenings. Join us for this debrief to discuss the impact of the year’s activities with Executive Director Virginia Clarke, Policy Programs Director Traci Bruckner, and members who participated in the delegations.

This call will be hosted on the Zoom video platform. You may call in by phone, but we highly encourage you to participate by video if possible!
