Legal and policy failures have allowed a handful of Big Agriculture corporations to have a stranglehold on our food system. They decide everything about the food we eat, from seed to slaughter, shelf to table.
Big Ag’s influence over policymakers and legislation has led to a food system that is ripe with corruption and cruelty. And it’s the reason a vast majority of farmed animals are raised on factory farms.
Factory farms pollute the environment and our drinking water, devastate rural communities, and confine millions of animals in inhumane, cruel, and unsanitary conditions that foster the spread of disease.
Food & Water Watch is fighting to break industrial agriculture’s stranglehold on our food system. We’re fighting for a better, more resilient way to raise animals for food. We’re fighting for a food system that rewards sustainable and diversified farms — farms that build rural communities, value workers, respect consumers, and treat animals humanely.
It’s not enough to simply advocate for improving regulations on factory farms, and we won’t solve this problem with our individual food choices.
That’s why we’re supporting a Fair Farm Bill that includes the Farm System Reform Act, groundbreaking legislation that would ban the largest factory farms and help farmers transition to more sustainable farming practices.
Our legal team is also hard at work bringing – and winning – groundbreaking cases related to everything from factory farm water pollution to federal financing of these dirty operations to the false claims made by the world’s biggest meat companies.
Food & Water Watch and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Action, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate.
