The Ecological Farming Association (EFA) is a non-profit educational organization that advances ecologically sound and economically viable agriculture. EFA can be traced back to 1981, when a group of California farmers sought alternatives to fossil fuel and chemical intensive farming methods. What began as a single gathering of a few farmers has grown into a series of education programs spanning over two decades.
EFA’s education programs have reached more than 50,000 participants during 25 years. Through consistent quality of rograms, EFA has developed a far reaching network of people and businesses committed to sustainable agriculture. Our programs bring together a diversity of stakeholders in California food production to promote grassroots leadership and regional solutions to decrease the negative impacts of industrial agriculture on environmental and community health.
