Sustainable Agriculture NetworkThe Rainforest Alliance's agriculture program supports the international secretariat of the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), a coalition of leading conservation groups that links responsible farmers with conscientious consumers by means of the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal of approval. Our collective vision is based on the concept of sustainability, recognizing that the well-being of societies and ecosystems is intertwined and dependent on development that is environmentally sound, socially equitable and economically viable. 
The SAN is made up of environmental groups in Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, with a watchdog group in Denmark and many associated academic, agriculture and social responsibility groups around the world. The SAN seeks to transform the environmental and social conditions of tropical agriculture through the implementation of sustainable farming practices. The conservation and rural development groups that manage the certification program understand local culture, politics, language and ecology and are trained in auditing procedures according to internationally recognized guidelines.
