John,
Recent farm bills have allowed our food and agriculture policy to become dominated by a handful of industrial agriculture corporations that have raked in enormous profits at the expense of animal welfare, the environment, workers, families, and rural communities. The amount that individual farmers earn for every food dollar is at an all-time low.
But this year, we have a chance for structural changes at the federal level to create equity in our food system!
The Farm Bill, rewritten every five years, offers a critical opportunity to fundamentally transform federal farm and food policy – including banning factory farms! A fair Farm Bill would let the people who grow our food earn a living, practice environmental stewardship, and rebuild the infrastructure that consumers need to access sustainably grown, regionally produced food.
Urge your members of Congress to support a fair Farm Bill!

FAIR FARM BILL NOW!

The Farm Bill establishes the policies and government supports for a range of U.S. agricultural priorities. Food & Water Watch is advocating for a fair Farm Bill that would:
Fix the federal farm safety net.
Redirect public funding to support organic and regenerative agriculture.
Increase competition within the agricultural sector.
Invest in regional food hubs.
It’s time to craft a fair Farm Bill for all! Urge your members of Congress to support Farm Bill policies that truly work in the interest of farmers and consumers!

Achieving these goals means fighting the corporate interests that want to maintain the status quo. Only then can we rebuild a food system that achieves environmental stewardship, provides living wages to farmers and food workers, and ensures access to fresh and healthy food for all.
Take action today to join the growing movement of farmers and consumers working to pass a fair Farm Bill.
