APPALACHIAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

ASD has been working with farmers, traditional and non-traditional agricultural partners for more than 25 years. We are committed to strengthening local and regional economies by helping beginning farmers focus on building their farming businesses and plans around growing demand. We believe that a pipeline of beginning farmers with business acumen and resources is what is needed to grow adequate supply to meet demand... ASD plays a critical role in the rural food system in Central Appalachia. We have been able to expand our work and have a greater impact on larger projects that involve numerous partners who value and work to create stronger local food cultures, public health, economic development and workforce development... ASD's mission is to build a thriving regional food and agriculture system that creates healthy communities, respects the planet, and cultivates profitable opportunities for Appalachians.
