Factory farms pollute our water, poison our air, contribute to climate change, and damage communities nationwide. Food & Water Action is fighting for you to have safe, healthy, and sustainable food. We want to reward resilient and diversified farms, build rural communities, support farmers, and treat animals humanely.
In 2018, we were the first national organization to call for a ban on factory farms. When we launched this campaign, we knew it would take a bottom-up grassroots effort, starting at the state and local levels. That’s why we’ve been fighting with communities nationwide — from Maryland to California, Iowa to Oregon — to stop factory farms. And this approach is paying off.
The Farm System Reform Act is the bold national approach we need to bring factory farming under control now and begin the transformation to a safe and equitable future for all. This legislation would:
Place a moratorium on new large factory farms and on expanding existing facilities.
Phase out existing large factory farms by 2040.
Enforce environmental laws on existing factory farms, including holding Big Ag companies responsible for the pollution and destruction they create.
Provide support for people operating factory farms to transition to more sustainable forms of agriculture.
Bring more fairness to agricultural markets through antitrust enforcement.
Food & Water Action and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Watch, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate.
