Last year, Field to Market and the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy hosted the inaugural Sustainable Agriculture Summit, convening more than 350 diverse stakeholders from across the food and agricultural supply chain to discuss opportunities to advance continuous improvement in agricultural sustainability. Now the National Pork Board, the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops, the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association and the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef have joined the founding partners to host the premier gathering for anyone working at the intersection of agriculture and sustainability.

The entire agriculture supply chain—from the farm through to the consumer—must work together to protect natural resources and promote long-term community well-being and economic viability. It is our vision that this year’s Summit will broaden the tent to meet this challenge, strengthening the supply chain network of producers, agribusinesses, manufacturers, retailers and influencers who drive continuous improvement in agricultural sustainability and deliver food, fiber and fuel to a growing world.

Each of our organizations is committed to working collaboratively across the agricultural supply chain to create a coordinated and comprehensive approach to measuring agricultural sustainability, while also leveraging our respective strengths to create impact together that is greater than the sum of our parts. We hope that you will join us in November in support of this goal.
