INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVENTH EDITION

Information about the institutions and organizations listed in this directory was com-piled from a number of sources. Criteria for selection were an institution's involve-ment in organic, alternative, or sustainable agriculture, and its focus on education,training, or provision of information. Scope of coverage is limited to the United Statesand Canada. Inclusion of an organization in this directory does not imply a recommen-dation by the Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC).

AFSIC is one of eleven Information Centers at the National Agricultural Library(NAL) that provide in-depth coverage of specific subject areas relating to the food andagricultural sciences. AFSIC focuses on alternative farming systems that aim at main-taining agricultural productivity and profitability, while protecting natural resources,especially sustainable, low-input, regenerative, biodynamic, or organic farming and gar-dening. Support for the Center comes to the Library from the USDA's SustainableAgriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, which is under the jurisdictionof the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES).

Each listing in this updated edition of 'The Directory" has been verified with the or-ganization. Our thanks to all those who contributed to its compilation.

Jane Potter Gates, AFSIC Coordinator, had significant assistance in the preparation ofthis edition from Michael Cassady, a volunteer at the Center. This assistance is grate-fully acknowledged.
