Who We Are

We welcome and promote Montanans’ solutions to build a livable future.

Our Mission

Through community-engagement, network weaving, skill-building education and advocacy in the sustainable ag/renewable energy/resilient food system sphere, and by creating spaces in which future food system leaders and inspired community models flourish, AERO promotes communities building a more livable and sustainable Montana for all.

Our Vision

Montana powered with clean, renewable energy, empowered by a collaborative network of resilient communities, and where all Montanans are nourished by locally produced, sustainably grown healthy food.

Why We’re Here

We believe taking action on solutions that build sustainable community food systems is the best future for humans and creates the Montana we all want to live in.
