Pasa Sustainable Agriculture
We’re a Pennsylvania-based sustainable agriculture association working to cultivate environmentally sound, economically viable, community-focused farms and food systems. We coordinate year-round workshops and events, administer formal farming apprenticeships, and facilitate research that empowers farmers with data they value. We also work to foster productive connections between farmers, community members, local businesses, policymakers, and other stakeholders. Our annual sustainable agriculture conference draws thousands of people from all sectors of the food system for four days of intensive learning on a wide range of food and farming topics.
