We build sustainable food and farming systems through policy advocacy and on-the-ground programs that create more resilient family farms, communities and ecosystems.
FARM-TO-MARKET
We connect farms with businesses, providing growers with a suite of practical services—from food safety assistance to coordinating institutional purchasing—to ensure supply and demand grow together.
ECOLOGICAL FARMING
We work with farms to reduce the ag sector’s carbon footprint by promoting a suite of on-farm practices—from cover crops to reduced tillage to hedgerows—that lower emissions and sequester carbon.
