Field to Market

Field to Market is a nonprofit alliance dedicated to advancing the sustainability of U.S. commodity crop production. The organization functions as a pre-competitive platform that unites diverse stakeholders across the agricultural value chain—including growers, agribusinesses, brands, retailers, and civil society—to define, measure, and drive continuous environmental improvement. It maintains a science-based framework and consensus-driven governance model to establish shared metrics, ensuring transparency and credibility in reporting sustainability outcomes for 17 different commodity crops. Its core offering, the Fieldprint Platform, provides farmers and supply chain partners with tools to assess environmental performance, track progress over time, and identify opportunities for more resilient agricultural practices. By integrating these metrics into farm management software and collaborative project standards, the organization enables participants to translate complex agricultural data into actionable insights, helping to balance economic viability with ecological health across the industry.

The organization serves as a critical resource for companies and farmers seeking to improve the resilience of their food, feed, fiber, and fuel supply chains. By providing a common playbook and data-driven assessment tools, Field to Market helps partners meet increasing sustainability reporting requirements, such as Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, while fostering cross-sector collaboration to overcome systemic barriers. Their work is supported by a membership of nearly 200 organizations and is reinforced by academic research and USDA-aligned science. Through initiatives like the Resilient Futures Leadership Program and various collaborative Fieldprint Projects, they facilitate the adoption of best practices that improve farm-level outcomes and enhance the sustainability of the U.S. agricultural landscape. Their impact is demonstrated through widespread industry participation, ranging from major food and beverage manufacturers to conservation groups and grower organizations, all working toward a future where farmers, business, and nature can thrive together.
