What is Field to Market and the Keystone Alliance?
Field to Market, the Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture is a collaborative stakeholder group working together to develop a supply-chain system for agricultural sustainability. Representatives include grower organizations, agribusinesses, food companies conservation organizations and land grant universities. The group defines agricultural sustainability as meeting the needs of the present while improving the ability to feed future generations by focusing on increasing agricultural productivity while decreasing environmental impact, improving human health through access to safe, nutritious food and improving social and economic well-being of rural communities. The Alliance is facilitated by the Keystone Center, a neutral, non-profit organization specializing in collaborative decision-making processes for environment, energy, and health policy issues.
