NWAEG's best-known project was an intensive effort to provide agricultural research and extension services to the Nicaraguan people during the Sandinista era.
Cuba and Chiapas, Mexico are locations of other NWAEG projects, exemplifying the group's informal focus on Latin America.
NWAG is collaborating with the National University (UNAN) and the Union of Small and Medium-sized Farmers (UNAG) in Nicaragua.
The goal of Nicaraguan agriculturalists is to develop methods to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which are both expensive and harmful to the environment.
There are also many active members in Vermont, North Carolina, California, Kentucky, Minnesota, throughout Canada, and in Nicaragua.
