Idaho Center for Sustainable Agriculture

The Idaho Center for Sustainable Agriculture (ICSA) is a 501(c)(3) organization formed to promote local and sustainable food communities through research, collaboration with farmers, and the expansion of local food distribution.

ICSA Mission Statement:

• Promote local food diversity and delivery.
• Incentivize farming as a career path for entrepreneurs.
• Build healthy soils and promote water conservation.
• Advocate local food safety and responsible pesticide & antibiotic use.

Join us by becoming a member to support our Programs and Outstanding Farmer Awards.

The ICSA’s capstone mission is to support the emergence of profitable farmers and help develop low cost year-round food hub facilities across Idaho that would synergize sustainably minded research, education, and food processing operations.

The organization recognizes the complex inter-relationships between growers, distributors, retailers, and consumers while seeking to improve environmental quality and promote social responsibility.

We have already received a grant from the United State Department of Agriculture’s Farmer Market Promotion Program to expand the existing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) program at the Capital City Public Market.  Click here for more details.
