KEYNOTE

Resiliency & Improving Michigan Agriculture’s Triple Bottom Line

Jason Rowntree, Michigan State University

In the future, continued challenges with natural resource use and economic viability will impact Michigan agriculture. Resilient approaches including diversifying income, increasing market share through value added and implementing farm practices that increase natural resource sustainability are paramount. By focusing on the pillars of profitability, resource sustainability and community improvement, farm by farm northern Michigan can direct a preferred future for their landscape, farming vitality and community improvement.
