| Desc | WESTERN SUSTAINABILITY EXCHANGE HAS BEEN PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. THE MARKET CONNECTION PROGRAM HAS TRAINED ALMOST 800 RANCHERS AND FARMERS ABOUT SUSTAINABLE TECHNIQUES AND, AS A RESULT, ALMOST A MILLION ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL LAND AND OPEN SPACES ARE BEING MANAGED SUSTAINABLY TODAY. THE PROGRAM CONNECTS PRODUCERS USING SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES TO OUR NETWORK OF LOCAL CHEFS, CATERERS, CONCESSIONAIRES, GROCERS AND RESTAURANTS WHO PRODUCE LOCALLY PRODUCED FOOD PRODUCTS. TO DATE WSE HAS OPENED MARKETS FOR MORE THAN 130 PRODUCERS. PROGRAMS WITHIN MARKET CONNECTION INCLUDE "MONTANA FARM TO RESTAURANT CONNECTION", A SEASONAL WEEKLY FARMERS MARKET, A HARVEST CELEBRATION, THE "STEER TO STEAK" PROGRAM, YOUNG ENTREPRENEURIAL STEWARDSHIP AND OTHERS. THE STEER TO STEAK PROGRAM REWARDS CATTLE RANCHERS WHO CONSERVE OPEN SPACE AND PROTECT FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND SECURES LARGE-SCALE MARKETS WILLING TO PAY A PREMIUM FOR SUSTAINABLY CERTIFIED BEEF, AND COORDINATES ALL PHASES OF THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION. THE FARM TO RESTAURANT PROGRAM RECRUITS FOOD SERVICE BUSINESSES TO BUY FROM LOCAL CERTIFIED PRODUCERS AND FACILITATES RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PRODUCERS AND BUYERS. THE FARMERS MARKET GENERATES SALES FOR LOCAL FARMERS, RANCHERS AND ARTISANS, AND THE YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAM TEACHES CHILDREN BUSINESS BASICS AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES. | Desc |
