Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (NESAWG)

The Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (NESAWG), convenes farm and food systems leaders, practitioners, and advocates across 12 Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. With over 500 participating organizations and thousands of individuals, our purpose is to harness the power that exists in our multi-sector regional network to catalyze meaningful change toward a sustainable and just food system. We foster peer-learning, information-sharing, collaboration, communication and public policy advocacy. Throughout all aspects of our programs and organizational operations, we strive to center equity and racial justice, an ongoing and evolving process. We are also dedicated to transitioning NESAWG to a less hierarchical organization that practices collective leadership and utilizes consent-based decision-making. We are a fiscally-sponsored project of the Tides Center. Learn more at nesawg.org.
