Council for Agricultural Science and Technology

Council for Agricultural Science and Technology:The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) is a nonprofit organization that provides objective, science-based information about agricultural issues to policymakers, the media, and the public. CAST was founded in 1973 by a group of concerned scientists who felt that science was not being adequately represented in debates about agricultural policy. CAST publishes position papers on a variety of topics related to agriculture, food, and the environment. These papers are written by experts in the field and peer-reviewed by other scientists before being released.
