NASSA's sustainable agriculture and rural development program promotes pro-environmental and pro-farmer agriculture focusing on the formation and development of BECs, people's organizations (Pos), no government organizations (NGOs), and individuals who adopt the technology and practice of sustainable agriculture (SA).

The program supports projects and initiatives on organic based and natural farming methods, cooperative development, capability building and farmers' empowerment, food and agri-based productivity, rural community and development programs, networking, and advocacy campaigns promoting farmers' rights.

The sustainable agriculture network, formed in 2002, popularizes viable strategies in combating rural poverty and the adverse effects of globalization. It is presently composed of 70 partner organization with 55 DSACs (30 of which have BECs), 11 NGOs and four POs/agrarian reform communities.

The ecology protection and promotion of the integrity of creation program seeks to preserve the sustainability of life and the whole of creation in response to the imminent danger of environmental destruction.

This is though building and mobilizing ecology activists and promoters who will seek to prevent or deter development aggression and at the same time promote community-based ecology initiatives.
