Get Involved

The best way of building a more sustainable and secure food system is by joining with others who are looking to do the same, both within the Northeast and beyond.

NESAWG offers a number of different ways of connecting with others working towards this common goal.  Here are just a few options available to you depending on the time you have available and the type of involvement you seek.  Please note that there is no overlap between the three actions listed.  Many people and groups decide to sign up for all three.

  -  Become a NESAWG Member (3 paper newsletters per year along with occasional mailings, fees on

      a sliding scale)

  -  Join the NEFOOD listserv (3-4 e-mails per week on average from other people and groups in the

      Northeast, free)

  -  Join our action alert e-mail list (1-3 e-mail alerts per month, free)
