Through direct advocacy, a 500-farmer sign-on letter urging economic relief for farmers, and the presentation of the Perennial Advocate Award, NSAC reinforced the importance of centering farmers lived experiences in shaping equitable, resilient food and farm policy.https://sustainableagriculture.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/LobbyDay2026467of485-700x467.jpg700467
