New World Agriculture and Ecology Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New World Agriculture and Ecology Group (NWAEG) is an organization focused on sustainable agriculture, conservation biology, and social justice.
[edit] History
Originally known as the New World Agriculture Group, NWAEG (pronounced "new-ag") first became active in the 1980s. NWAEG is often said to have drawn inspiration from the 1970s Science for the People movement; Harvard ecologist Richard Levins made key contributions to both groups.
NWAEG's best-known project was an intensive effort to provide agricultural research and extension services to the Nicaraguan people during the Sandinista era. Cuba and Chiapas, Mexico are locations of other past and present NWAEG projects, exemplifying the group's informal focus on Latin America.
