Agriculture and Food Systems

Americana envisions rural and urban landscapes in Michigan where the community is connected to the food system, where agricultural producers are prosperous and focused on sustainability, and where agriculture supports public health, diverse business opportunities, and livable communities for all.

American Heritage

Americana supports organizations that preserve, interpret, and exhibit early American art and material culture as a bridge to understanding place and identity, as a means of celebrating the craftsmanship and creativity of early American artisans, and in a way that reflects an inclusive narrative of early American history.

NATURAL RESOURCES

Americana supports the conservation of Michigan's abundant natural resources and the Great Lakes, a natural environment that is healthy, diversified and beautiful with clean water, air, and soil; scenic landscapes that are preserved and respected; and robust natural resource stewardship in Michigan communities.

We support the sustainable development of agriculture and community food systems, the protection of natural resources, and an inclusive narrative of early American art and history.
