The Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC), at the National 
Agricultural Library (NAL), maintains a gopher site and a World Wide Web 
site.  Many important and comprehensive documents related to Sustainable 
Agriculture are available from these sites  (see the List of Publications
when you connect).  Links are also available from the Web page to many 
other Sustainable Agriculture pages.

We have recently added links to the Western Region of the Sustainable 
Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, and to the National 
Biological Control Institute (NBCI), which I mentioned in a post last 
week.

Other recent additions are full-text patents related to biological 
control and other alternative farming methods (mostly bio-control).
These are available at both gopher and WWW sites.
