FutureGen: Lessons From a Small Country

Chelsea Green Publishing is a Vermont-based publishing company founded in 1984 by Ian and Margo Baldwin. It specializes in non-fiction books that focus on progressive politics and sustainable living. With over 400 titles published, the company releases between 25 and 30 new books each year, covering topics such as organic farming, gardening, homesteading, integrative health, and ecology.

The company is committed to environmental sustainability, printing 95% of its books on chlorine-free recycled paper and working exclusively with North American printers to minimize its carbon footprint. Each book includes an environmental impact statement, showcasing Chelsea Green's dedication to eco-friendly publishing practices. In 2018, the company expanded internationally by establishing Chelsea Green Publishing UK in London and became a 100% employee-owned company in 2019. In May 2024, it was acquired by Rizzoli International Publications, which has further enhanced its global reach while maintaining its mission.
