Did you know that Henry Ford once said, “I forsee when industry shall draw its raw material from the fields,” and initiated the first Ford sustainability efforts?

Can you believe that seats in all North American Fords are made with plant-based foam? On behalf of Mother Nature, thanks, Debbie and team! Learn more about Ford's Farm to Car movement by visiting http://ford.to/FarmToCar.
