Happy Earth Day! First of all, THANK YOU for everything you do for our planet—not just today, but every day of the year. We are proud to work alongside such dedicated and conscientious land stewards and we’re grateful to be your partner in those efforts. We know there’s a lot of stress and uncertainty in the world right now. Please know that we appreciate you and we’re here to support you however we can.

This newsletter, we’re sharing something a little different than our regularly scheduled programming. Last year our team and boards began working together to draft a vision statement for A Greener World. This statement was developed to provide clear direction, alignment and consistency across all of AGW’s programs and partnerships. Now finalized, we are excited to share our new vision statement with you this Earth Day:

“We envision a world where farming benefits people, animals, and the environment through integrity and transparency.”

This vision will guide us through times of ease and times of difficulty, and we are proud to share it with you. We invite you to share this news with your own networks and encourage donations to support our collective work towards this vision. You can also share our social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, Xand LinkedIn as another way to show your support.

100 Million Acres: A Common Ground Project

AGW is proud to be an official certifying partner in Common Ground’s 100 Million Acre campaign. The films Common Ground and Kiss the Ground have introduced many to regenerative agriculture, but for real impact, millions of regenerative acres are needed too. The 100 Million Acre campaign calls for everyone—including individuals, farmers, brands—to commit to regeneration, and help shift 100 million acres of U.S. farmland and rangeland into certified regenerative systems by 2030. We invite you to share this with your own customers and networks, to take the pledge and join the movement.

Reminder for AGW producers: Farm-to-Farm Sales Advertising

AGW’s Farm-to-Farm Sales is our space for AGW-certified farmers and ranchers to place advertisements for livestock, forage or feed, farm equipment—or even to lease pasture for grazing. The service is free. Learn more and place an ad.
