Emily Erickson - Board President
As an Idaho native my best memories are on horse-back either at a rodeo or jumping the ditch in the pasture. My journey has been as unique as the landscape of our beautiful state. From rodeo queen to an MBA in Sustainable Business, I’ve explored California, NYC, and Seattle. Eventually, I found my way home with a deep appreciation for the lifestyle and outdoor adventures that Idaho offers.Since returning to Idaho, I’ve worked with organic food companies, designed and implemented collegiate programming for B Corp certification, led diversity & inclusion conferences for the business community, and promoted regenerative agriculture practices. I believe in using business as a tool for good to build a resilient future for our agricultural state. I’m thrilled to serve on the board of ICSA because we bring Idaho’s stakeholders together to protect our farms, rangelands, soil and water that will feed generations to come.

I grew up on a conventional farm in Iowa. I always loved growing things in the soil and the feeling of accomplishment that went along with it. My idea of farming starting to take different turn when in 2010 the farm we got our CSA from put on a documentary about Organic farming. It connected a lot of dots and thoughts I had about conventional farming. Since then I have been on mission to learn about other farming practices. My degree and interest in human health was now directly connected to the health of the soil, plants, and animals. Upon moving to Boise almost 6 years ago, I really wanted to be a part of the food/agriculture community here. I worked with McIntyre Pastures getting their direct marketing to consumers up and running. I also worked for 2 years with the Grassfed Exchange helping to spread the word of proper grazing and farming techniques. I have now started my own business with my wife and stay very connected with local community through ICSA.

My journey in sustainable agriculture began growing up in rural New Jersey (The Garden State) where I saw firsthand the impacts of urban sprawl on farms, communities, and local food systems and simultaneously large-scale efforts to preserve remaining farmlands. The desire for a greater understanding of this complex issue led me to pursue a Master’s Degree in Natural Resource Economics and Policy from the University of Maine. Since then my professional career has focused on the various facets of sustainable agricultural systems including land-use planning, conservation policies and tools, ecosystem service markets, and landowner incentive programs. As a member of the ICSA board, I hope to leverage this knowledge and experience to address the various challenges to sustaining Idaho’s farmlands into the future.
