Our Vision

A Diverse Corn Belt provides environmentally and economically sustainable growth opportunities for farmers, communities and markets to develop.

The transformed system will be capable of overcoming persistent market and policy barriers to support a transition to resilient intensification and a more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable system.

Concrete steps toward diversification have the potential to create thriving economic activity in rural Midwestern communities, attracting the next generation back to farms and rural communities with new energy and diverse perspectives.
