If you answered yes to this question, you should consider nominating yourself or someone you know for the National Resource Defense Council’s “Growing Green Award.”  Through this national award, NRDC will recognize extraordinary contributions that advance ecologically integrated farming practices, climate stewardship, water stewardship, farmland preservation, and social responsibility from farm to fork.

The NRDC’s panel of judges, which includes Michael Pollan, will select one outstanding individual in each of the following categories to receive a cash prize: Food Producer, Business Leader, Thought Leader, and Water Steward.  $10,000 will be awarded in the Food Producer category.
