Pasa is an advocate for the sustainable agriculture community of Pennsylvania and beyond. We educate and inform local, state, and federal policymakers through our research, case studies, on-farm demonstrations, and farmer feedback. We host farmer and community listening sessions to gain on-the-ground perspective on emerging food system topics. We connect farmers to new ideas and opportunities, and we communicate policy priorities to decision makers and stakeholders.
The high cost of the changing climate is not just in dollars. It includes damage to property and infrastructure; loss of life and livelihoods. Our new report digs into how farmers can play a greater role in flood mitigation—and how policymakers can support them.
The 2018 Farm Bill expired, and the next one could still be a long way off. What's the hold up? What's included in the latest drafts of the bill? What can we do? Pasa's Farm Bill Campaign Organizer and a policy specialist from National Young Farmers Coalition answer these questions and more in this informative webinar.
We regularly submit public comments to policymakers that share insights and feedback we’ve received from farmers and food system professionals.
