Program GoalsField to Market is working to meet the challenge of producing enough food, fiber and fuel for a rapidly growing population while conserving natural resources and improving the ability of future generations to meet their own needs by driving sustainable outcomes for commodity crops.
To deliver these outcomes, Field to Market’s membership has pledged to:
Improve land use efficiencyDrive sustained improvements by increasing productivity on U.S. cropland, conserving native habitat and enhancing landscape quality.
Improve water qualityOffer sustained contributions to solving regional water quality problems by reducing sediment, phosphorus, nitrogen, and pesticide loads from U.S. cropland.
Improve irrigation water use efficiencyProvide sustained contributions to solving regional water scarcity problems through continual improvement in irrigation water use efficiency and conservation.
Improve energy use efficiencyDrive sustained improvement in energy use efficiency from U.S. crop production.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissionsDeliver sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. cropland per unit of output.
Reduce soil erosionProvide sustained reductions in soil erosion to tolerable levels or below on all U.S. cropland.

How is YOUR data being used?The Ag Data Transparency Evaluator is a
non-profit corporation backed by farmer-led
industry organizations and Ag Technology
Providers (ATPs)
•Farmer-led organizations must approve all
significant decisions made by the corporation.
•Companies under evaluation cannot influence the
review process.
•The ATPs involved include all sizes, from multi-
billion dollar corporations to start-ups.
•Only companies receiving approval are allowed to
use the “Ag Data Transparent Seal”.
How do growers use it?
•Look for the “Ag Data Transparent”
seal which indicates a company has
been through the review process.
•Go to the Ag Data Transparent
website and compare different
company offerings.
