The FEED Group believes that agriculture, humanity's oldest and most essential industry, must become a more energy efficient, non-polluting, and decentralized practice for the benefit and welfare of the global population.  Alternatives to resource-intensive and environmentally damaging farming practices exist and should be supported with applied research and collaborative development.  By forging strategic partnerships in Food, Energy, and Economic Development, we will ensure sustainable access to safe, healthy and affordable whole foods as a natural right for the world's citizens.
