MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL ADVANCEMENT

On the farm level, MiAA is working to drive soil health and diverse rotations. That improved soil health comes through decreased reliance on chemical inputs and tillage, use of cover crops, and rotational diversity. These are management practices that can cut input costs, improve weather resiliency, and decrease economic risk... Michigan Agriculture Advancement empowers alternatives to the commodity agriculture system that has prioritized production efficiencies at the expense of farm resiliency, production flexibility, food value, and environmental impacts. MiAA supports the work of innovative farmers building soil health and diversifying crop rotations. Recognizing the value of these changes extends beyond the farm through limited environmental impacts and enhanced local food economies, MiAA works for policies and investments to achieve a stronger agriculture system in Michigan.
