Growing a Sustainable Future: How ATTRA Supports Farmers, Communities, and Food Systems

How do we build a food system that supports farmers, strengthens communities, and protects our environment?

In this episode, we sit down with Audrey Coldy of the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) to explore the impactful programs and resources offered through ATTRA Sustainable Agriculture. Drawing on her farming background and passion for food equity, Audrey shares how education, collaboration, and innovation are helping create a more sustainable future for agriculture.

From farmer training and networking opportunities to veteran-focused initiatives like Armed to Farm and youth-centered programs such as Farm to School, this conversation highlights the many ways ATTRA is empowering people across the food system. We also discuss the importance of local food production, community resilience, and knowledge-sharing through platforms like the Voices from the Field podcast.

Whether you're a farmer, educator, food advocate, or simply passionate about sustainable agriculture, this episode offers inspiration and practical insights into the programs helping communities thrive.
