About the Initiative
This initiative serves as a unified entry point to multiple sustainability programs supporting U.S. agriculture. Its purpose is to provide clarity, context, and direction for stakeholders seeking sustainability information related to specific commodities.
Purpose and Role
The initiative does not manage program operations or prescribe production practices. Instead, it connects visitors to sustainability programs that are independently operated, commodity-specific, and designed to reflect real production systems.
Why a Commodity-Centered Model Matters
Agricultural sustainability is most effective when it reflects how crops are actually grown. Corn and sorghum differ in agronomy, resource use, and market pathways. Structuring sustainability programs around those differences strengthens credibility and relevance.
