Appalachian Sustainable Development

Appalachian Sustainable Development
Area of focus: ASD has built the Appalachian’s most comprehensive value chain for good food, utilizing a market-driven, field to table strategy to link consumers with producers and create good economic opportunities along the value chain. RLT priorities include accessing a diversity of large, well-paying markets and securing demand from them; developing grower networks which help train, support, and capitalize limited resource farmers; developing infrastructure essential to linking small scale farmers to large markets; and building community support to ensure healthy foods are reaching a wide audience inclusive of those of lesser means.
