The AGree Economic and Environmental Risk Coalition creates a bridge between positive environmental outcomes and profitability for farmers and ranchers.

Representing a diverse range of interests, our members include researchers, academics, farmers, former officers of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and NGO leadership. Together, we advocate for common-sense policies that protect both natural resources and farmers’ livelihoods.

The Coalition’s members actively promote these policies: we develop recommendations, lobby Congress, support the USDA’s implementation processes, and lead strategic communication efforts. We work collaboratively with seemingly disparate groups, focusing on practical, research-backed solutions that advance our shared goals.

The Coalition works according to consensus guiding principles that lead us forward, supporting our success to date. Since 2013, we have produced research and analysis, actively engaged with USDA and Congress, and established trusted relationships with key agricultural leaders across the country. As the food and agriculture sector evolves, we will continue to build on these strong foundations, creating systems that support our vital food producers—and protect the land that makes their work possible.
