Aero’s Mission:
Moving forward, we are growing resilient and reliable Montana food system for all Montanans, working in these three focus areas:

• Building consumer demand for Montana-grown food

• Building Montana market channels for Montana farmers and ranchers

• Building community knowledge, networks, and resources that strengthen Montana community food systems and webs.

Our Expo 2024 theme is: #FutureGenMT: Designing a Path for the Well-Being of Montana’s Future Generations.

We chose this theme in honor of AERO’s founders’  clear commitment  to foster the development of sustainable communities for today and generations to come, and inspired by the book #FutureGen: Lessons from a Small Country by Jane Davidson. #FutureGen details how Wales passed the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act of 2015, the first country in the world to do so.
