Globally Responsible Production and Kanza Cooperative Association Announce Strategic Partnership to Expand Sustainable Agriculture Opportunities
[Iuka, Kansas] – Kanza Cooperative Association (Kanza), a farmer-owned cooperative dedicated to supporting agricultural producers with essential products and services, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Globally Responsible Production (GRP), a leading digital platform connecting farmers, ag retailers, and sustainability programs. This collaboration will enhance access to sustainability programs for Kanza’s members, simplifying data collection and increasing program participation.
Through this partnership, Kanza members will gain direct access to GRP’s digital platform at no cost, enabling them to participate in sustainability programs with greater ease. GRP’s seamless data integration will allow farmers to identify programs they could qualify for while maintaining operational efficiency, aligning with Kanza’s mission to support farmers with innovative solutions that improve productivity and profitability.
"The push for sustainable agriculture isn’t going away, and Kanza understands that being a trusted partner means helping farmers access markets and opportunities. That’s the foundation the cooperative was built on. This partnership is about making sustainability work for farmers, not the other way around, and ensuring they can get rewarded for responsible practices without jumping through hoops,” said Jed Miller, President of GRP.
“At Kanza, we are always looking for ways to enhance the value we provide our members,” said Rusty Morehead, Chief Strategy Officer of Kanza. “This partnership with GRP allows us to offer cutting-edge solutions that make it easier for farmers to engage in sustainability efforts while optimizing their operations.”
