Continuous Improvement Process
Phase Zero : Define Project Intent & Scope
Field to Market’s Continuous Improvement Accelerator harnesses the power of collaboration across the agriculture value chain to implement locally-led conservation solutions to deliver sustainable outcomes for agriculture.
By registering continuous improvement projects and publicly reporting progress against achieving continuous improvement goals and objectives, the Accelerator creates a standardized and validated approach to recognize and reward the contributions of Field to Market members in advancing sustainable agriculture.

Phase One: Develop Your Continuous Improvement Plan
A Continuous Improvement Plan must be completed and on file with Field to Market before a project can be considered an active project in the Continuous Improvement Accelerator and listed on the public-facing Project Directory.
Phase Two: Implement & Evaluate Progress
Annual Reports must be submitted during the reporting period to maintain an Active Project registration on the public-facing Project Directory. The reporting period is January 1 through April 30 for data collected in the previous crop year.
