Healthy Soil & CO2 Balance

John E. Peck
Executive Director, Family Farm Defenders (FFD)

Our mission is to create a farmer-controlled and consumer-oriented food and fiber system, based upon democratically controlled institutions that empower farmers to speak for and respect themselves in their quest for social and economic justice. To this end, FFD supports agroecology, farm & food worker rights, racial justice, animal welfare, consumer safety & right to know, fair trade – both globally and domestically, as well as food sovereignty.

Take time to watch "Kiss the Ground"

"It fits perfectly with [this week's meeting] topic." - Linda

As Americans Prepare for Frigid Polar Vortex, Scientists Point to Climate Disruption Link
