IARN — Times are changing and how we are producing our products is changing as well. In fact, agriculture is just an ever-evolving business that is always looking for ways to feed the world better with fewer resources. That is where sustainability comes in. Sustainability has long been a buzzword that sometimes gets a connotation of only being a certain way of producing crops. But that assessment couldn’t be further from the truth. No matter if you are organic, conventional, use cover crops, or other means of producing your product, the idea of trying to do better is what sustainability is all about.
A group called Farmers for Sustainable Food is making efforts to connect with producers and suppliers up every supply chain in agriculture. Lee Kinard is the treasurer of Farmers for Sustainable Food. He talks about the need to engage agriculture across the board. Their efforts are bringing together groups that you wouldn’t always think about working together.
