Board of Directors

WE CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE FARM

A competency-based volunteer Board of Directors leads Farming Smarter. They direct the organization through careful thought, meaningful discussion, and the establishment of written policies. Directors provide long-term guidance, so staff can focus on the day-to-day business.

Agricultural


We Study. We Teach. We Challenge.

Farming Smarter drives innovation in agriculture by bridging ideas and people, conducting practical research, and sharing unbiased knowledge & wisdom.













Strategic Plan

We apply, adapt, and encourage adoption of innovative crop technologies and management practices that make farming successful while sustaining environmental, social and economic health.

Each year, we dedicate a day to our strategic plan with all our board and staff members present to discuss the outlined goals and actions to achieve. 

We always keep an eye on the short, medium, and long-term goal of the organization while reviewing its immediate past. This keeps our strategic plan on course and allows for leaps forward or direction changes if necessary.
