A Senior Director of Sustainability. “I can say that I look at sustainability as really being more of a behavior than it is a certification scheme or an end state or a target. It's more of a journey the more we learn about where food comes from, how it's made, where it is consumed. The more we measure that, that which gets measured gets done as we continue to evolve information and metrics and the whole transparency equation, I think we get better. So it's a journey, it is certainly not a destination.

Twenty-one farm and ranch groups representing millions of U.S. farmers and ranchers are launching Farmers for a Sustainable Future (FSF), a coalition committed to environmental and economic sustainability. This coalition will serve as a primary resource for lawmakers and policymakers as they consider climate policies.

The coalition will share with elected officials, media and the public U.S. agriculture’s commitment to sustainability and the incredible strides already made to reduce agriculture’s environmental footprint. As policy proposals are developed and considered, the goal is for the coalition and its guiding principles to serve as a foundation to ensure the adoption of meaningful and constructive policies and programs affecting agriculture.
