National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service
Looking for the latest in sustainable agriculture and organic farming news, events and funding opportunities? We feature all that, plus in-depth publications on production practices, alternative crop and livestock enterprises, innovative marketing, organic certification, and highlights of local, regional, USDA and other federal sustainable ag activities.
Online Information Service for Non-Chemical Pest Management in the Tropics
Online Information Service for Non-Chemical Pest Management in the Tropics PAN's Overall Aim is to eliminate the use of hazardous pesticides, reduce overall use, risk and dependence of pesticides, and increase support for community-based control over a sustainable produced food supply.
The Rodale Institute
We know there's more than one way to farm, eat and live sustainably. Many growers consider organic certification imperative to ensure customer confidence. Growers who sell most of their crops directly to the end consumer—via a farm stand, farmers market or Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)—may consider organic certification unnecessary. And what about the other certifications available besides, or in addition to, certified organic? New Farm honors these differences in approach, method and label in this section. Certified organic, naturally-grown, biodynamic, permaculture, farm-worker-friendly, no-till...you can find it all here.
International Organic Inspectors Association
The International Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA) is a non-profit, professional association of organic farm, livestock, and process inspectors dedicated to verification of organic production practices. The mission of IOIA is to address issues and concerns relevant to organic inspectors, to provide quality inspector training and to promote integrity and consistency in the organic certification process.
The Rodale Institute's Organic Transition Course is a 15-hour online program designed to help you understand the National Organic Standards and use them as your framework for making the transition to organic production. It's perfect for farmers who are ready to make the complete transition to certified organic, and for those interested in simply integrating more sustainable methods into their current farming system. Just want to learn more about how certified organic farming works? The course can help there, too.
Gardening Organic
The International Development programme promotes and facilitates organic and ecological agriculture in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our goal is to contribute to the wider understanding and practice of sustainable agriculture as a means to improving food security and environmental resilience.
The International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR)
The International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR) promotes and supports research in all areas of Organic Agriculture by facilitating global co-operation in research, methodological development, education and knowledge exchange; supporting individual researchers through membership services, publications and events and integrating stakeholders in the research process.
The Principles of Organic Agriculture (IFOAM)
IFOAM's mission is leading, uniting and assisting the organic movement in its full diversity.
Our goal is the worldwide adoption of ecologically, socially and economically sound systems that are based on the principles of Organic Agriculture. eading the organic movements worldwide, IFOAM implements the will of its broad based constituency - from farmers' organizations to multinational certification agencies, ensuring the credibility and longevity of organic agriculture as a means to ecological, economic and social sustainability. Uniting the organic world, IFOAM provides platforms to stakeholders for a wide range of purposes. Through international conferences, committee meetings, and other forums, IFOAM facilitates the ongoing and constructive dialogue about the future and status of organic agriculture. Assisting its membership, IFOAM implements specific projects that facilitate the adoption of organic agriculture, particularly in developing countries. IFOAM also represents the organic agriculture movements at United Nations and other intergovernmental agencies.
FAO Best Practices Web site
FAO's new model is based on a determination to learn from the Organization's experience and will require new mechanisms that allow and provide incentives for staff of different disciplines, working on related themes but in different units or locations, to work together collegially towards the development of best practices and the achievement of shared goals. (FAO, November 2005) In the spirit of FAO's stronger focus on knowledge sharing, this new FAO Best Practices Web site provides a series of summaries that introduce some best practices in FAO's areas of expertise. It also provides links to further resources with supporting technical information.
AGROMISA- KNOWLEDGE CENTRE FOR SMALL SCALE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Agromisa was established in 1934, and is linked to Wageningen University and Research Centre. Our aim is to exchange knowledge information on small-scale sustainable agriculture and related topics. Our target group is the underprivileged population in rural areas. Agromisa's main objective is to strengthen the self-reliance of the target group and to improve their livelihood by sharing experience and knowledge. Agromisa's role in this is a supportive one, which implies that we are not a donor organisation, nor do we finance projects directly. It is Agromisa's belief that the gap between formal (scientific) knowledge and informal (farmers') knowledge should be bridged. To achieve this, Agromisa wants to collaborate with intermediary organisations.
Conservation agriculture
Conservation agriculture (CA) aims to achieve sustainable and profitable agriculture and subsequently aimes at improved livelihoods of farmers through the application of the three CA principles: minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover and crop rotations. CA holds tremendous potential for all sizes of farms and agro-ecological systems, but its adoption is perhaps most urgently required by smallholder farmers, especially those facing acute labour shortages. It is a way to combine profitable agricultural production with environmental concerns and sustainability and it has been proven to work in a variety of agroecological zones and farming systems. It is been perceived by practitioners as a valid tool for Sustainable Land Management (SLM).
Agroforestry.net - Publications available for free download
Agroforestry Net, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational resources about agroforestry, trees, and sustainable stewardship of land and water. We are recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization. The information provided by Agroforestry Net, Inc. is available to the public at agroforestry.net. Our activities are supported by donations from individuals.
World Agroforestry Center
In 2002 the Centre acquired the brand name the ‘World Agroforestry Centre’. The ‘International Centre for Research in Agroforestry’ remains our legal name and we continue to use the acronym ‘ICRAF’. The new name reflects the fact that the Centre is now recognized as the international leader in agroforestry research and development. Realistically, however, the Centre cannot possibly provide expertise on all conceivable dimensions of agroforestry—nor do we wish to do so. There are advantages to specialization, which is why the Centre engages in strategic alliances with a range of other institutions. Some of these partners are centres of scientific excellence in specific topics of relevance to agroforestry; others specialize in the effective delivery of research results to farmers fields.
Market Gardening, Mini-farming, Mini-ranching
Through free enterprise and micro-entrepreneurship both urban and rural mini-agriculture applications have been proven to produce substantial income on surprisingly small acreage. There is unlimited opportunity in mini-agriculture whether rural or urban. Mini-agriculture can provide a comfortable income, a quality lifestyle, a great service to the community and it's a great way to raise kids. One woman took a one week course, went to Alaska, prepared the land and sold $20,000 worth of vegetables and then had six months of vacation. A couple in Midland, Texas, grossed $14,000 from one and a half acres.
