Future
Harvest-CASA is a network of farmers, agricultural professionals, landowners
and consumers living and working in the Chesapeake region. Future Harvest-CASA
promotes profitable, environmentally sound and socially acceptable food
and farming systems that work to sustain communities.
Future
Harvest-CASA is a nonprofit organization that was created as a result of
the successful achievements of the Future Harvest Project that was established
in 1994. On September 9, 1998, Future Harvest-Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable
Agriculture was officially incorporated as an independent organization
and received nonprofit status on July 13, 1999.
Our ambitious agenda includes:
-
Exploring
new crops and new markets for farmers
-
Creating
consumer demand for locally grown food
-
Sponsoring
and organizing conferences, field days and on-farm demonstrations
-
Promoting
conservation and stewardship
-
Disseminating
information to farmers through newsletters, email and study circles
