SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR CFSA’S 2016 AWARDS!

Every year at our Sustainable Agriculture Conference, CFSA recognizes sustainable agriculture leaders. The awards honor institutions and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the sustainable food movement in North and South Carolina and have helped make the Carolinas one of the fastest growing sustainable agricultural sectors in the country. We are currently seeking nominations for our 2016 awards.

Nomination Process

To nominate a candidate for a CFSA Sustainable Agriculture Award, please review the criteria in each category and submit a nomination form. Self-nominations are welcome.
