Center for Agricultural Partnerships

Improving the capacity of the farm community to achieve sustainable outcomes for agriculture and society as a whole. 

RESOLVE's Center for Agricultural Partnerships (CAP) focuses on strategic solutions that help its partners and clients improve the economic viability, environmental performance, and long term sustainability of the farming sector. CAP brings a broad and unique network of partnerships and critical acumen to providing strategic advising and consultation services to inform key national initiatives that include the planning and implementation and supply chain sustainability efforts and large scale watershed programs.

Working closely with a wide range of organizations such as the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, Field to Market, and The Midwest Row Crop Collaborative, CAP has supported sector-wide efforts and conducted qualitative research to further the effectiveness of sustainability programs. CAP has also developed a methodology for organizing and implementing watershed level conservation programs and applied that methodology in work with key partners in Iowa and the Mississippi River, Chesapeake Bay, and Delaware River Basins.

Drawing on extensive experience and expertise at the field and policy levels, CAP helps organizations and companies find solutions that meet the needs of the agriculture community and its stakeholders and serve the long term economic and environmental sustainability of the farming sector.
