Membership

CAST members help CAST to address some of the most important issues that impact our planet, such as how to feed the world’s population; water and soil conservation; leading land use practices; and animal, food, and environmental science. This is accomplished through credible science-based publications, online resources, and videos that are written and supported by scientists, economists, legal experts, and other professionals, then made available to a wide audience.

Additional benefits for organizational members 

In contribution at suggested amounts provide the opportunity for a seat on the CAST Board of Representatives, participation in the CAST work groups, attending the Annual Meeting and voting rights for CAST elections.
