The challenge of producing enough food, fiber and fuel has become increasingly complex. With the world population estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050, the entire supply chain needs to work together to efficiently and responsibly meet the needs of future generations. Field to Market, The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture, is working to meet this challenge and create opportunities to improve productivity, the environment, and human well-being throughout the agricultural supply chain. Field to Market brings together a diverse group partners to focus on promoting, defining and measuring the sustainability of food, fiber, and fuel production. Through the Fieldprint Calculator, Fieldprint Projects, and analysis of national trends in sustainability performance, Field to Market is leading the development and implementation of metrics and measurement-based sustainability programs.
