Appalachian Sustainable Development

Last updated on May 17, 2012

Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD) is a not-for-profit organization working in the Appalachian region of Virginia and Tennessee. Formed in 1995, ASD focuses on developing healthy, diverse and ecologically sound economic opportunities through education and training, and the development of cooperative networks and marketing systems. Our work encompasses two broad areas: Building a strong local food system based on organic and sustainable farming and fostering forest conservation through value-added wood processing and "green building." ASD links consumers with farmers and producers and provides hands-on opportunities for learning, advocacy and civic engagement.

We pledge ourselves to work for this sustainable development:

· By promoting the values underlying a respect for people, nature, community and culture;

· By enabling local communities to meet their own needs;

· By establishing ecologically sensitive businesses;

· By creating services enhancing human potential; and

· By utilizing strategies building upon regional strengths
