The organisation was launched in 1998 to explore the economic, cultural and environmental characteristics of a truly sustainable society and to disseminate the results of this exploration.
FEASTA runs a number of projects that focus on issues such as: measuring progress, education, democracy, energy and climate, business and community. Each project’s site includes a range of relevant documents and events. The website provides access to Feasta’s publications, online books, briefing papers, government submissions, and multimedia material.
