We are first and foremost an advocacy group formed to improve, expand, and incorporate the latest scientific techniques, utilizing international, Federal, state and local resources buttressed by private capital to enhance farming by taking advantage of cutting edge tools to achieve the goal of farming smart. Tackling our biggest adversary – CLIMATE CHANGE.
Our work focuses on land use, specifically how best to maintain, expand and utilize farmland making both the farmers and farmland more productive by utilizing smart and efficient techniques and methods which will lower the costs, produce a more enriched product, while maintaining rich soils to continue to produce market demand products year after year.
Central to our work is the acquisition of land then act as conservator, developer
or actual farmer of parcels identified as agriculture/farmland to grow organic high
demand products to serve the local communities. Scrutinizing and directing
companies to utilize Department of Agriculture programs, especially the National
Black Farmers Association, Illinois Corn Growers Association, and consolidating
local farmers to build capacity and increase their overall benefits that accrue from
using sound, verifiable business practices. On the international front we have
formed mutual working arrangements in South America, Central America, Asia and Africa.
Our future projects will concentrate considerably on the problems/opportunities
that are a direct result of climate change. Already, a changing climate is affecting the growing seasons and differing temperatures that largely determine what crops can and cannot be planted in specific latitudes and longitudes. Water usage on a macro basis is an area to which we will devote our concentrated attention. Water, our essential lifeblood, must be used in accordance with the best and highest use of conservation standards.
Finally, our attention will focus on how to best vertically integrate on a national as well as international basis. Building the framework to service more effectively our growing local and expanding global populations.
