About the Ecological Farming Association
The
Ecological Farming Association (EFA) is a non-profit educational
organization that advances ecologically sound and economically
viable agriculture. EFA can be traced back to 1981, when a group
of California farmers sought alternatives to fossil fuel and chemically
intensive farming methods. What began as a single gathering of
a few farmers has grown into a series of education programs spanning
over two decades.
EFA’s education programs have reached more than 50,000 participants
during 25 years. Through consistent quality of programs, EFA has
developed a far reaching network of people and businesses committed
to sustainable agriculture. Our programs bring together a diversity
of stakeholders in California food production to promote grassroots
leadership and regional solutions to decrease the negative impacts
of industrial agriculture on environmental and community health.
