Background
The Farm Powered Strategic Alliance is a collaborative group of leading national and regional brands focused on advancing sustainability. In 2020, Vanguard Renewables, Unilever, Starbucks, and Dairy Farmers of America founded the Alliance to boost food waste reduction and recycling, expand renewable energy production across America, and support generational farms and regenerative agriculture practices.
Members share sustainability best practices and build personal connections through virtual meetings and in-person events, collaborating on ideas and solutions to mitigate climate change.
