U.S. food and agriculture policies currently empower a handful of global corporations to control our food and farming system — at the expense of farmers, workers, and everyone who eats.
Farm Action is a nonpartisan, farmer-led watchdog organization advocating for accountability from both our government and large corporations within the agricultural sector.
We envision a fair, sustainable, and healthy food system that empowers farmers, workers, and rural communities to feed America.
We believe government should serve the public — not corporate interests.
We’re not afraid to challenge the outsized power of agribusiness, and we work with honesty, collaboration, and the determination to win a food system that works for everyone.
Farm Action team members have a proven track record of success and are tested leaders in the food and farm community. Here’s how we deliver big wins for America’s farmers, workers, and rural communities:
Building a Movement for a Fair, Sustainable, and Healthy Food and Agriculture System
From unfair agriculture markets to worker abuses, inhumane animal conditions, and environmental degradation, our founders saw a common theme in our food and agriculture system: at the root of all these issues lies monopolistic corporate control of government policy, impacting every one of us.
By connecting and supporting unlikely allies, we spread awareness that abusive corporate power is the common adversary to a resilient and just food and agriculture system. Our mission keeps the interconnectedness of the land, animals, workers, farmers, ranchers, and communities at the forefront of this fight.
Today, Farm Action is a thought leader, policy developer, and network builder for farmers and ranchers, food chain workers, consumers, organizations, and policymakers up and down the food supply chain. Headquartered in Missouri, we are a tax-deductible charitable 501(c)(3) organization that formed as an affiliate of Farm Action Fund, a political nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization.
Together, our two organizations represent a seamless chain of action from research and policy development, to the adoption of the policy through legislative action by elected officials who support our vision.
