Dear Dennis,
The winter holiday season is here and among the preparations, gatherings and celebrations, it’s also a time for reflection.
We invite you to join us in celebrating A Greener World’s work in 2022—work made possible by people like you. This year was hard, especially for many farmers and ranchers, but there were also reasons to celebrate. For a Greener World, some of these include:
- Launch of Certified Regenerative by AGW after more than 4 years of planning and working with more than 50 farms in the pilot program to ensure robust, effective and workable standards.
- Certification of major brands and supply chains, which helps bring even more traceable, sustainable and verified products to market at scale.
- Growth of the AGW program worldwide—with certification and outreach activities in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico—on over 6,000 farms on 3 million acres.
- Establishment of the AGW Relief Fund for Farmers to help producers facing financial challenges and impacts of natural disasters.
As we reflect on the last year and what lies ahead, we want to ask you, What is the future you want to help build? Does it include a healthier planet? More recognition, gratitude and support for the farmers and workers who feed us? Cleaner air and soil? Better animal welfare? More transparent food labels? If your hopes for the future of our food system and planet align with our work—and the work of the sustainable farmers, ranchers and businesses we certify, we would be grateful for your financial support. We also hope you’ll share your vision for the future and how our work might support that. Our door is always open.
