The power of the New Economy is its connectedness
Through the concerted actions of roughly 250 organizations, the Farm to Plate network is carrying forward Vermont’s 10-year comprehensive food system plan. They are improving and localizing across the whole value chain, from soil back to soil.
Similarly, Energy Action Network, a team of 45 or more businesses, private funders, nonprofits, and government representatives, is working to shift Vermont to clean energy systems by 2030.
Employee-owned: best for workers, best for all
Data shows that worker-owned companies are happier workplaces, serve their communities more effectively, and perform better financially.
Here in Vermont, we have over 30 worker-owned businesses, including King Arthur Flour, Gardener’s Supply, Chelsea Green Publishing, and Resource Systems Group.
Mission Green: from socially responsible businesses to researchers in renewable energy technology, Vermont has the country’s highest percentage of green jobs.
