Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society (NSAS) is a nonprofit, grassroots membership organization. Initiated over 40 years ago by farmer members, NSAS has grown into a dynamic organization with members from across Nebraska. We welcome farmers, eaters, supporters of local food and everyone with an interest in our lands and communities.

Promoting agriculture and food systems that build HEALTHY LAND, PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, and QUALITY OF LIFE for present and future generations.

We recognize that there is a strong relationship between a healthy local agriculture ecosystem and a strong local food system. That relationship requires that much of the food consumed is grown and processed locally. This adds quality and security as well as social and ecological responsibility to the community diet. It is this understanding that motivates NSAS’s work to strengthen and enhance these systems together. Our work is across Nebraska in all communities and settings to expand this system for the benefit of local agriculture and local residents.

NSAS is active in collaborative projects that support rural communities and the environment. These projects offer mentoring opportunities for beginning and experienced farmers, and opportunities for on-farm research, demonstration, and education. We offer opportunities for non-farmers to participate in a food system and to network with sustainable Nebraska farmers, attend workshops, and link with all our projects! Each year, NSAS sponsors an Annual Conference, workshops, farm tours, and field days.
