In this final episode of Keystone’s 50th anniversary series, we explore The Invisible Hand of Keystone—the lasting, often unseen impact of collaborative work that continues long after a dialogue ends. From the Keystone Science School to the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, Field to Market, the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, and the Kwiyagat Community Academy, we trace how initiatives that began under Keystone’s guidance have grown into independent organizations shaping policy, practice, and communities across the country. This episode reflects on Keystone’s enduring legacy and the power of collaboration to create change that lasts.

In the final episode of Keystone’s three-part agriculture series — part of the organization’s 50th Anniversary celebration — we explore how Keystone brought its collaborative approach to one of the most transformative scientific frontiers: gene editing. When CRISPR technology emerged, Keystone helped lead the creation of CRISPRcon, a global forum for open dialogue about the promise and responsibility of gene editing. This episode reveals how CRISPRcon, and Keystone’s subsequent NGO Gene Editing Roundtable, helped define what responsible innovation looks like: transparent, inclusive, and grounded in open discussion.

This second episode in Keystone’s agriculture series tells the story of how a simple idea became one of the most influential sustainability collaborations in modern farming. In the mid-2000s, Keystone convened a groundbreaking dialogue among farmers, agribusinesses, conservationists, and scientists to define what sustainability really means in agriculture — and how to measure it. That process gave rise to Field to Market, now a global leader in advancing continuous improvement across the food and agriculture value chain. Featuring reflections from the leaders who were in the room at the beginning, this episode traces how Keystone’s facilitation and commitment to trust transformed a conversation into a movement that continues to shape agriculture today.
