Building a sustainable and equitable agricultural landscape for Minnesota.

We are community-rooted farm and food systems organizations that prioritize agricultural practices that nourish people and planet.

Our mission is to convene leaders on sustainable agriculture and champion nonpartisan policy solutions that protect communities, farmers, and climate, fostering economic resiliency for all Minnesotans.

Our pillar priorities.
