OOB as of 11/14. The American Sustainability Project is a coalition of preeminent thought leaders, food reformers, meat activists, financiers, a retailer and ranchers joined together to support food-forward agriculture by sourcing, producing and delivering the world's healthiest and most progressively raised foods. The American Sustainability Project was founded out of the deepest roots of patriotism, the love of our land, concern for human health, and the necessity to address a flawed agricultural system that has become increasingly dominated by large corporate interests. The American Sustainability Project is also a resource for universities, government leaders, policy makers, ranchers, farmers, food reformers, think tanks, scientists, researchers, retailers, wholesalers and chefs who seek to learn and participate in the development of an alternative more rationale agriculture. The American Sustainability Project expects to deliver education and influence to positively affect today's toxic agricultural system. Our mission is to create public awareness through education to create informed consumers and producers that will demand food sources that are safer for human consumption. By providing both leadership and implementation, the American Sustainability Project will bring attention to the significant health issues created by large scale industrial food and livestock production, such as the gross overuse of herbicides and antibiotics, genetically modified crops, growth hormones, and the reliance on corn and fossil fuels. The American Sustainability Project will focus on the best practices in food forward agriculture and will feature innovation that is already in practice while also championing new thinking.
