Who We Are

How We Started
• When examining the most important agricultural and natural resources issues, stakeholders have consistently identified two themes that hinder growth and sustainability:– Lack of knowledge about agriculture, natural
resources and the connections between the two
– Lack of public involvement in agriculture and natural resources systems.
