OUR MISSION
From the farm to the marketplace and in government policy, we support, advocate, and promote American grass-fed and pasture-based farms and ranches.
We do so by:
- Maintaining a credible, transparent national standard for animals humanely raised on pasture
- Partnering and collaborating to support rural economiesÂ
WHAT WE DO
Certification program
Our certification program requires producers to meet a stringent set of standards and pass an annual third-party, on-farm inspection to become approved AGA Certified producers. To learn more, visit our certification page.
Market support
We provide AGA certified producers with the AGA logo, trademark, service mark and/or design mark for use on labels and other marketing materials.
Education
Through conferences, ranch days, publications and other outreach efforts, AGA works with producers, chefs, and consumers to bridge the gap between pasture and table.
Policy
AGA works directly with legislators and the USDA in conjunction with other likeminded organizations to establish farm policy that supports American grassfed producers and family farms.
Partnerships
AGA forms alliances with other organizations that share our values in the grassfed food production and regenerative agriculture movements to give a voice to American grassfed ruminant, dairy and pastured pork producers.
