Stop Toxic Food Production

by Nada Khader | Jan 17, 2025 | Blogs, Communities & Focus Areas, Director's Blog, Environmental and Food Justice, Movement Building, Progressive News Network

TAKE ACTION: TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM TOXIC FOOD PRODUCTION PRACTICES

Our government has propped up an industrial food and farm system that has harmed human health and the environment for far too long. Today, the largest agrochemical corporations have amassed excessive power and profits from this system at the expense of everyone else.

These corporations have used their outsized power to trap farmers in a system that is dependent on harmful chemical herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers, and to convince the rest of us that this system is the only way to feed ourselves.

They then leverage government subsidies to keep this system in place. But we have the power to fight back and build a food and farm system that prioritizes health over excessive corporate profits. Our new policy handbook calls on Congress to use its authority to redirect resources and prioritize policies that support more resilient, sustainable farming methods — ones that eliminate toxic chemicals from our food supply.

 

In just a few clicks, you can tell your representatives to protect our nation’s health.
