Farm Foundation is a publicly supported nonprofit organization working to improve the economic health and social well-being of U.S. agriculture, the food system and rural people by helping private and public sector decision makers identify and understand forces that will shape the future. 
Serving as a catalyst, Farm Foundation partners with private and public sector stakeholders, sponsoring conferences and workshops to explore factors shaping the competitiveness of agriculture and the food system; encourage application of research results to increase human capital; promote informed dialogue on public issues and policies; and build knowledge-based networks for U.S. agriculture and rural people. Farm Foundation does not lobby, nor advocate policy positions. Our 70-year reputation for objectivity allows us to bring together diverse stakeholders for discussions on issues and policies, providing a solid basis for informed private and public-sector decisions.
