Mission: Cultivating environmentally sound, economically viable, and community-focused farms and food systems.

Programs: Farmer Educational Outreach: Each year over 2,000 people come together for our Farming for the Future Conference, one of the largest and most respected gatherings on this topic anywhere in the U.S. The conference is followed by a full season of Field Days and Intensive Learning Programs delivering practical information on sustainable farming methods. | Farm-Based Research: Pasa will offer credentialed training programs for aspiring farmers, beginning with the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship, the only formal, registered apprenticeship for farming in the United States. These apprenticeship programs will integrate intensive on-the-job training under the guidance of a master farmer with a curriculum of academic courses in agroecology and farm-business planning. Pasa will also provide assistance to apprentices transitioning into management positions on existing farms or starting their own farm businesses. | Farmer-to-Farmer Exchange: Pasa will expand our educational events and online resources to help farmers connect and explore new strategies to improve their sustainability performance. Pasas most experienced and accomplished farmers will shape our educational agenda, and use their insights to guide concrete demonstrations of innovative farm management practices. Topics, speakers, and activities will reflect local context and help address the specific challenges that our farmers face today.
