Our Strategic Objectives

Grow Sustainable Farming

Expand sustainable agriculture practices among farmers through relevant and practical education, training, and network weaving.

Thriving Farm Communities

Support a thriving and sustainable agriculture community by enhancing financial viability, promoting land access, and advocating for supportive policies.

Center Farmers, Advance Equity

Cultivate an equitable, member-led, sustaining organization that centers farmer voices and prioritizes underrepresented communities.

Join Us!

We are a farmer-centered organization welcoming all who wish to implement, expand, and support sustainable agricultural practices in the state of Alabama. We prioritize the perspectives of BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented farmers who root their livelihoods in sustainable agriculture. To move forward successfully, we partner with consumers, advocates, and other organizations committed to supporting the Alabama food system, sustainability, and environmental justice.

We define sustainable agriculture as:

A balanced web of intergenerational relationships that produce food and fiber in a way that is ecologically regenerative, equitable, and economically viable, allowing the land, and those who work the land, to thrive.

Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network (ASAN) allots a portion of its yearly budget to directly support farmers in tough moments. The hope is that these mini-grants can provide a leg-up in hard times and help “untie” a farm problem that might be an obstacle to tackling bigger problems on your farm.
