Partnerships

Our Partnerships are individuals and organizations committed to fostering a vibrant, robust Michigan agriculture. They support the work of innovation projects on a state-wide level, and are working to strengthen institutional commitment to integrated food and farming systems. The collaboration is dynamic and evolutionary, welcoming new members and the perspectives they bring. Currently, collaborators include representatives from farms throughout the state, agriculture consultants and organizations, academic institutions, environmental organizations, organic grower and consumer groups, and others including Michigan Agricultural Stewardship Association, Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Department of Agriculture, and Michigan Farm Bureau.
