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 markets to worker abuses, inhumane animal conditions, and environmental harm, our founders saw a common thread in our food system: monopolistic corporate control, hurting every one of us.
By uniting unlikely allies, we’ve built a movement that confronts abusive corporate power and fights for a resilient, just food and agriculture system—keeping the interconnectedness of land, animals, workers, farmers, ranchers, and communities at the center.
Today, Farm Action is a thought leader, policy developer, and network builder for farmers and ranchers, food chain workers, consumers, organizations, and policymakers. Based in Missouri, we are a charitable 501(c)(3) working alongside Farm Action Fund, our 501(c)(4) advocacy affiliate.
Together, our two organizations drive a seamless chain of action—from research and policy development to legislative change that builds a fair, sustainable, and healthy food system.
