John,

Factory farming is one of the country's most polluting and least regulated industries. Their waste pollutes the environment and your drinking water. They wreck rural communities and put family farms out of business—all while tightening the corporate stranglehold on our food.

We can’t let this continue.

Food & Water Watch is fighting to ensure that your food is sustainable, animals are treated humanely, and your communities and waters are not dumping grounds for toxic pollution from factory farms.

Will you join us in this fight by donating to Food & Water Watch?

There was a time when small and mid-sized farms reliably fed people and cared for the environment and animals. But factory farms upended this relationship.

Today, bought-and-paid-for politicians and so-called regulators who are supposed to be looking out for farmers, consumers, and the environment are afraid to take on the Big Ag corporate giants.

These corporations manipulate the debate over how your food is grown and regulated, controlling everything until it reaches your table. Meanwhile, lobbyists delay real change with schemes and scams (like biogas) that give the illusion that the system works for everyone.

But we see through the smoke. That’s why our organizing, research, policy, and legal work focuses on changing the fundamental structure of our food system.

Make a gift to Food & Water Watch today, and fight for a sustainable farming future! Your contribution will be put to work immediately to power the campaign to ban factory farms

Food & Water Watch is on a mission to:

• Ban factory farms — Advance the Farm System Reform Act, legislation banning the largest factory farms, and helping farmers transition to more sustainable farming practices.

• Stop Big Ag mega-mergers — Support legislation to impose a moratorium on agribusiness, food and beverage manufacturing, and grocery retail mega-mergers and establish stronger federal oversight of Big Ag market power.

• Make real change with on-the-ground organizing — Work with allies, volunteers, and supporters to fight factory farms at the state level and stop Big Ag schemes like factory farm biogas.

• Ensure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) follows through — In 2023, in response to another Food & Water Watch lawsuit, the agency said it would launch a study of factory farm water pollution. We’re now following the EPA every step of the way to ensure its study fully accounts for current science and technology improvements.

By giving to Food & Water Watch, you are fighting for a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system — one that builds rural communities and respects consumers.

But it will take building pressure of all kinds to ban factory farms and transition existing ones to sustainable, diversified farms. We can’t do it without you, John.

Onward together,
