Every five years, the federal farm bill sets our nation's food policies -- it's the single biggest factor in determining what ends up on your plate.
But right now Congress is only providing minimal support for healthy, local and organic foods while expanding wasteful subsidies and giveaways that support the wealthiest agribusinesses -- at the expense of family farmers.
The Senate Agriculture Committee is writing its version of the 2012 Farm Bill right now. It's incredibly important that Congress get this right.
I just signed a petition urging congress to stop the giveaway to Big Ag and support food and farm policies that protect our environment and expand access to healthy food. You can learn more and add your name here:
