nh_sustaining_agriculture1The New Hampshire Coalition for Sustaining Agriculture is an informal network of organizations and individuals dedicated to enhancing the social, economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture in New Hampshire. The Coalition brings together members of the farm community and the non-farming public with agricultural conservation and community development professionals to implement a shared vision:

Agriculture is a valued and vital part of New Hampshire’s economy, environment and communities. A dynamic agriculture makes New Hampshire a better place to live, work and visit. The future of agriculture in New Hampshire depends on profitable farms that can nurture families and be passed on to future generations.

Published in July 2009 by the New Hampshire Coalition for Sustaining Agriculture in cooperation with the UNH Department of Natural Resources and the Environment.
