The National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) has been promoting sustainable living for nearly 35 years. We are a national, non-profit 501(c) 3 organization established in 1976 and our mission is to help people by championing small-scale, local, and sustainable solutions to reduce poverty, promote healthy communities, and protect natural resources. Every day, we help individuals find solutions that will insure our children and grandchildren inherit a world with cleaner air and water, efficient and renewable energy production, and healthy foods grown with sustainable techniques. We have a well-deserved national reputation for providing research-based technical assistance and information in the fields of sustainable agriculture, sustainable energy and community development.

We touch hundreds of thousands of lives every year through activities such as weatherizing houses, training farmers, monitoring energy use, demonstrating renewable energy technology, testing new products and providing information on building construction.

Support The Beginning Farmer Opportunity Act
Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Our nation’s farmers are aging and retiring rapidly, and beginning farmers and ranchers face tremendous obstacles entering this field. As a career choice, farming and ranching may be one of the most difficult occupations to enter. To ensure a healthy, safe, and prosperous future America urgently needs new farmers.

You have an extraordinary opportunity to launch a new generation of farmers and ranchers in this country: Ask your U.S. Representative and your U.S. Senators to co-sponsor the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act of 2011.

Learn more about the act and how you can make a difference by visiting http://sustainableagriculture.net/blog/an-extraordinary-opportunity/.
