Help legislators and agricultural institutions craft policies that will encourage healthier, fairer food and agriculture systems. Foster collaboration among the many groups and individuals who share concerns but do not traditionally see one another as allies. Team members work together to explore creative and better approaches to old and new problems, from enhancing water quality to marketing produce locally to creating exchange programs for urban and rural youths. Some collaborate from a sense of common purpose and a desire to enhance their own capacities to have a positive impact on the future of agriculture in Michigan. Periodic meetings, tours, field days and other learning opportunities, a bi-monthly newsletter and an electronic mail network help members share information, energy, resources and work.
New collaborators are always welcome.
