About SAN
SAN is a nonprofit network with over twenty years of experience, that helps people and nature thrive through credible, on-the-ground delivery. We convene civil society organizations, producer groups, technical partners, and institutions to make sustainable agriculture real—backed by verification and practical support.
The SAN Secretariat coordinates quality standards, shared tools, and partnerships; our members lead delivery in their own contexts. Together we simplify compliance, protect rights and livelihoods, advance regenerative practices, and produce decision-grade evidence for communities, funders, and market actors.
Board of Directors
SAN belongs to its members. That is why both the General Assembly and the Board of Directors are entirely composed of SAN members.
