Subscribe to Sustag
MISA's intent for the Sustag listserve is to provide a way for people with an interest in sustainable agriculture to keep each other informed about events, research, learning opportunities, books, articles, or other pieces of knowledge relevant to sustainable agriculture.
Job announcements, internship announcements, and volunteer opportunities are allowed on Sustag.
Farmland for sale and farmland wanted notices are allowed.
Carpooling offers to educational events are allowed.
Sustag's purpose is not to be a discussion forum. We think discussions are great (healthy debate is one of our guiding principles!), but in response to list users' wishes, we made a decision to keep this list informational. Opinion sharing and subsequent discussion can swell the number of posts and change the tone of posts beyond the intention of this forum.
Advocacy action alerts are not allowed. Calls to action should not appear in Sustag posts. However, an informational notice about a timely issue may be posted with a link out to further information.
Business advertising* is not allowed.
Fundraising appeals are not allowed. However, an informational announcement of an event or resource may include, at the end of the message, a brief line about fundraising with a link to further information.
Events that are also fundraisers are allowed, so long as there is some educational value to the event.
*What is "business advertising?"
We ask that non-profits not abuse their status by advertising services that compete with businesses. Offers for one-on-one consulting services that people have to pay for should be considered "business advertising" and not posted on Sustag. CSA shares offered by non-profits should be considered "business advertising" and not posted on Sustag. On the other hand, new publications that offer instruction on some aspect of sustainable agriculture should be posted, even if they are offered for sale by a for-profit entity. Courses and workshops that instruct on some aspect of sustainable agriculture should be posted, even if they are offered by a for-profit entity. Organizations can advertise educational services such as courses and workshops that require payment of a registration fee. When in doubt, please check with the MISA staff before posting.
Business advertising and fundraising appeals can be posted on our SustAgMarket listserv.
What if something that appears on Sustag really needs to be discussed?
If discussion is what interests you, please check out our Healthy Debate listserv. Healthy Debate is for discussion of sustainable agriculture as it relates to politics, society, and advocacy. If you think that something posted on Sustag requires discussion, please re-post the item to Healthy Debate and begin the discussion there.
