Farm Foundation has a new look—and it reflects an organization moving forward.
Today, we’re excited to introduce a new Farm Foundation brand and website designed to better tell the story of who we are, what we do, and the role we play in the future of food and agriculture.
Our look may be new, but our purpose remains the same: bringing people together to better understand the issues shaping food and agriculture and turn ideas into action.
A Brand Built Around Connection
Agriculture’s biggest challenges can’t be solved alone.
Progress happens when farmers, researchers, business leaders, policymakers, students, and communities have opportunities to learn from one another, challenge assumptions, build relationships, and put promising ideas to work.
That has long been at the heart of Farm Foundation.
Our new brand gives that work a clearer, more contemporary identity—one that reflects the connections we create across disciplines, geographies, generations, and perspectives.
It also gives us a stronger platform for telling the stories of the people who make this work possible.
More Than a New Logo
You’ll see a new Farm Foundation logo, colors, typography, photography, and other visual elements across our website, programs, events, publications, and communications.
But this work was about much more than changing how Farm Foundation looks.
It was an opportunity to sharpen how we talk about what we do.
Across our programs, Farm Foundation is helping develop the next generation of leaders, supporting farmers and agricultural professionals, exploring emerging ideas, connecting research with real-world experience, and creating opportunities for people throughout food and agriculture to learn from one another.
Our new brand brings those pieces together under one clearer Farm Foundation story.
A Website Designed to Help You Explore
Along with our new brand, we’re launching a completely redesigned FarmFoundation.org.
The new site makes it easier to discover Farm Foundation’s work, explore programs and events, learn about the people and organizations in our network, and find ways to get involved.
Whether you’re discovering Farm Foundation for the first time or have been part of this community for decades, we hope the site gives you a better sense of not only what we do—but why it matters.
And this is only the beginning. The new website gives us a platform that can continue to grow alongside our programs, partnerships, campus, and community.
Rooted in Our History. Ready for What’s Next.
Farm Foundation has evolved many times throughout its history as agriculture—and the world around it—has changed.
This is another step in that evolution.
Our new brand honors the credibility, independence, and collaborative spirit that have defined Farm Foundation while giving us a fresh way to carry that work forward.
There are enormous questions ahead for food and agriculture. There are also extraordinary people working to answer them.
Farm Foundation will continue creating the connections that help move those ideas forward.
