A Nearly 50% Increase in U.S. Factory Farmed Animals in 20 Years
A Food & Water Watch analysis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2022 Census of Agriculture data shows that the U.S.’s industrial animal agriculture industry is raising more animals on factory farms than ever, producing unprecedented amounts of waste. Status quo legislating in Washington, D.C., enables a corporate feeding frenzy in rural communities nationwide. Read more about this critical issue and what we must do to rein in factory farms.
After over a decade of advocacy from groups across the state and country, California regulators released a plan to phase out fracking in California. The proposed rule would prohibit the state from issuing new fracking permits in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect California’s food, water, people, animals, air, and land.
The 2024 election is among the most consequential in U.S. history. Not only is democracy on the line, but the consequences for our food, water, and climate could not be greater. That's why Food & Water Action, the political and lobbying arm of Food & Water Watch, is committed to electing more climate champions.
We’re launching a new volunteer team to fight for the basic human right to clean, accessible, and affordable water across the country. Become a part of our Water Action Team. Join us on Thursday, March 21st for the launch and together we'll work to pass policies that ensure your basic right to water.
