## Description

CAST, the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, is an independent nonprofit founded in 1972. It connects scientific expertise with decisions affecting agriculture, food systems, and natural resources, helping ensure research can inform policy and practice. CAST brings together volunteer scientists, economists, legal experts, and communicators, alongside a membership that includes students, researchers, academic institutions, professionals, and organizations.

The organization convenes expert networks to develop peer-reviewed publications on agricultural science and translates research into accessible resources for policymakers, educators, journalists, and the public. Its offerings include reports, issue papers, webinars, podcasts, the CAST Academy, the Meet the Expert series, and other science communication programs. CAST also hosts events, supports volunteers, and provides opportunities for members to contribute ideas and expertise.

Through its awards and scholarships, CAST recognizes achievement in agricultural science communication at different career stages and encourages future communicators.
