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.

MinneAg Network has four pillar priorities:

  1. Increase financial and capacity investments in infrastructure, small and mid-size processing and market development state-wide.

  2. Enable Land Access & Farm Viability for Emerging Farmers

  3. Leverage Minnesota agriculture to create positive climate & ecosystem impact

  4. Link Nutrition and Food Access Needs to Minnesota Agricultural Producers

Find more detail about specific issues underneath these pillars on our State Priorities page.

The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy houses the MinneAg network, and co-leads with partners from the Land Stewardship Project, MN 350 and the Minnesota Farmers Union. Hear more from Erin about the Network in the video below, or read a transcript of the video here.
