Retail, Consumer Trends Leader and Rancher Form Sustainability Project
Retail and consumer trends leader J’Amy Owens and fourth-generation rancher Derek Kampfe formed the American Sustainability Project, a Bozeman, Mont.-based coalition of preeminent thought leaders, food reformers, meat activists, financiers, retailers and ranchers joined together to support food-forward agriculture by sourcing, producing and delivering the world's healthiest and most progressively raised foods.
“The American Sustainability Project was formed to offer a real practical alternative to a food industry that has gone awry," says Owens, chief executive officer. "We are committed to protecting the environment, public health, human communities and animal welfare by working exclusively with farmers and ranchers who raise animals sustainably, meaning without relying on antibiotics, growth hormones, animal byproducts or GMOs. We support holistic practices that preserve and restore soil, water and air quality using techniques and resources that maintain continual viability by consciously preserving our valuable resources for future generations."
