As responsible stewards of the earth’s resources, farmers, fishermen and foresters across the United States are dedicated to developing and continuing sustainable practices while improving operations on the land and the seas through ongoing innovation and thoughtful approaches.

The U.S. Sustainable Alliance represents more than 20 U.S. organizations linked by our individual accomplishments in growing, harvesting and producing through our long history of conservation stewardship.

Sustainability is not measured by an arbitrary threshold; it requires a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. That is why we also believe it is for all of us across the food supply chain.
