Through a series of video-recorded interviews, this project will record NSAC’s formation and evolution, including the reforms it has achieved over the last three decades: Topics covered will include: The political and social context surrounding the formation in the early 1980s of what became NSAC The evolution of NSAC from its early days as an informal network of grassroots organizations -- most of which were located in the Midwest, with Minnesota groups playing prominent roles -- to the more formal structure of regional Sustainable Agriculture Working Groups (SAWGs) in the 1990s, to the NSAC of today with its 100 organizations from around the country A review of the policy gains that support sustainable agriculture achieved through the past six Farms Bills A discussion of where the efforts of sustainable agriculture advocates came up short, as well as an exploration of further policy changes needed to advance sustainable agriculture and a healthier food system
