### Introduction to the 12th Edition

These organizations and institutions were selected from a number of sources based on their involvement in organic, alternative, or sustainable agriculture and a willingness to
provide education and training or to share information. The majority of listings are in the United States and Canada; some are overseas. Inclusion of an organization in this
directory does not imply a recommendation by AFSIC.

AFSIC is one of several Information Centers at the National Agricultural Library (NAL) that provide in-depth coverage of specific subject areas relating to the food and
agricultural sciences. AFSIC focuses on alternative farming systems that aim at maintaining agricultural productivity and profitability, while protecting natural resources. Such
systems include sustainable, low-input, regenerative, biodynamic, or organic farming and gardening. Support for the Center comes to the Library from USDA's Sustainable
Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, which is under the jurisdiction of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and
Extension Service (CSREES) and through a cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland, College Park.

Each listing in this updated edition of the directory has been verified with the organization. Our thanks to all those who contributed. We encourage hearing from those not listed
who have programs or educational contributions to offer. Changes and additions will be added throughout the year to the Web version of this directory. AFSIC's Web site address
is listed below.

Jane Potter Gates, AFSIC Coordinator, gratefully acknowledges the significant assistance in the preparation of this edition from the Center's staff and a volunteer.

## Educational and Training Opportunities in Sustainable Agriculture

|*Note for the Web Version*
This electronic version differs somewhat from the January 2000 printed edition because of corrections made and new entries added.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A significant change from previous editions is that farm internships and apprenticeships in the U.S. are no longer listed here. These can be found on the ATTRA web site. Please
refer to the *Introduction* for details.

Each institution, organization, or farm is followed by a contact name and a short program description.
