Food System

We work every day on three fronts to save our planet — protecting food, safeguarding water, and preserving our climate. 

  • 1.A SAFE, SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM

    It’s time to stop the monopolies that are endangering our food supply and ecosystem.

    Monopolies profit at the expense of farmers, consumers and our environment.
  • 2.FACTORY FARMS MAKE US SICK
    Factory farms make us sick

    The damage caused by factory farms is insidious and affects everyone.

    Factory farms are responsible for a rise in antibiotic resistance.
  • 3. WORKERS DESERVE SAFE CONDITIONS
    Workers deserve safe conditions

    The well-being of food system workers directly affects us all.

    Demanding that workers show up when sick puts us all at risk.
  • 4. NOTHING’S SAFE IN INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE

    Our food system would be safer for everyone if Big Ag weren’t controlling it.

    Corporations keep agencies from properly inspecting our meat and endanger workers — all in the name of profits.
  • 5. GMOS PLANT SEEDS FOR CORPORATE CONTROL

    The immediate harm from GMOs is felt by the farmers and land they’re forced upon.

    GMOs aren’t about ending hunger. They’re about market control and profit.
  • 6. WINNING REAL SOLUTIONS

    The change we need won’t happen by slapping a bandaid on the problems caused by corporations.

    We were the first national org calling to ban factory farms — we’re closer than ever to winning.
