The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) is a national alliance of family farm, food, conservation, rural and urban organizations that together advocate for federal agriculture and food policy reform.

NSAC’s vision of agriculture is one where a safe, nutritious, ample, and affordable food supply is produced by a legion of family farmers who make a decent living pursuing their trade, while protecting the environment, and contributing to the strength and stability of their communities.
