The future of farming prioritizes fair markets that drive healthy soil, clean water, nutritious food, and local prosperity.

Future Forward Farming

• Builds regional food systems that connects farmers directly with consumers, processors, and retailers.
• Expands market options by growing programs that get local foods into Minnesota’s institutions and urging Midwestern food companies to buy from farmers in the region.
• Promotes fair market access and fair prices for small and mid-sized farmers while reducing corporate control in the ag economy.
• Creates on-ramps for alternative markets while empowering farmers to transition away from a dependence on corn monocropping or factory farming.
