Standing Committees
Four standing committees have been established to oversee various aspects of Field to Market’s program and to make formal recommendations to the Board of Directors and General Assembly. These committees will have a number of responsibilities including developing and refining metrics; establishing verification protocols for sustainability claims; developing education and outreach materials to accelerate continuous improvement; and establishing awards and recognition programs for outstanding growers and supply chain partners.
To ensure balanced representation and engagement from across our membership, no organization may serve on more than two standing committees, unless the vacancy would otherwise go unfilled. Associate members are excluded from serving on standing committees.

Field to Market’s Metrics Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on revisions to existing metrics as new science becomes available. The committee also makes recommendations to the Board and General Assembly on the inclusion of new metrics and indicators in the Field to Market program. Lastly, the committee oversees metrics alignment with other sustainability programs and standards.
Any Field to Market member can submit a request for either an update of an existing metric or the development of a new metric using this form. Any proposed changes will be reviewed by this Metrics Committee. The Committee will provide a written evaluation of the request and, if deemed fit, will either proceed with a metric revision or submit a request, with evaluation, to the Board of Directors for a new metric.
Eligibility: Full members only
Term: Two years
Size: Twenty members (four from each sector)
