Cool Farm Member Advisory Council 

The Member Advisory Council (MAC) serves as the primary voice of the Cool Farm Alliance members, ensuring that member insights and perspectives guide the direction of the Cool Farm Secretariat and Supervisory Board.

Through collaboration and collective input, the MAC plays a crucial role in shaping the evolution of the Cool Farm Tool and its alignment with member needs and sustainability goals. In its inaugural year, MAC participants made significant strides in building momentum toward this shared vision.
