- Background: what you do/how you got involved with sustainability?
I am a fifth generation Dairy and Crop farmer. My parents and grandparents stressed the importance of thinking generationally when making decisions. They stressed that every decision made must provide a benefit to our community, be highly protective of our natural resources, and provide an economic return. Though our parents never referred to their decision-making process as such, sustainability has been at the center of our family’s business model for generations.
2. Why be a part of Farmers for Sustainable Food?
Farmers for Sustainable Food is quite clearly the leader in the promotion of Sustainable Agricultural Practices. FSF has successfully created a platform that promotes collaboration amongst farmers, processors, retailers, regulators and environmental groups. This collaboration has empowered farmers to innovate, incorporate new technology, and adopt regenerative farming practices at a pace never before possible.
3. Why should others join Farmers for Sustainable Food?
The work performed by those who choose to belong to Farmers for Sustainable Food will define the future of sustainable agriculture. No other organization provides this opportunity.
