OUR ISSUES
Four Areas of Focus
Farm Journal Foundation works to address the biggest challenges facing food and agricultural systems today. Using three main levers – thought leadership, education, and issue engagement – we drive conversations that surface real solutions, and we work with government leaders to take action. We currently focus on four main issues, with the overarching goal of building the long-term health of our global food supply chain.

AREAS OF WORK
GLOBAL FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY
Global hunger and malnutrition are serious issues that have implications for U.S. economic growth, trade, national security, and more. Farm Journal Foundation seeks to ensure that farmers around the world have access to innovations that can help them increase food production and alleviate hunger and malnutrition in our growing world.
RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Rural economic development is critical to make sure our food systems work at every step along the value chain – supporting strong livelihoods for farmers, affordable food supplies for consumers, and long-term agricultural productivity. Farm Journal Foundation works with numerous stakeholder groups to support rural development both in the U.S. and around the world.
AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION
Agricultural conservation can preserve the long-term health and productivity of the land, supporting farmer livelihoods and stable, affordable supplies of food. Farm Journal Foundation works with farmers and organizations to increase the adoption of conservation practices and provide education about their benefits.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Farmers need innovative tools to maximize their productivity and work efficiently with limited resources. Farm Journal Foundation supports public investment in agricultural research and innovation to ensure that farmers both in the U.S. and abroad are able to build strong livelihoods and generate ample harvests.
