Work with American Farmers
Mission Number Three: Work with American farmers to grow healthier foods that work for them economically and benefit consumers’ health.
We must reduce our nation’s heavy reliance on monocropping, pesticides, and other conventional farming practices which have fueled the rise of ultra-processed foods and chronic disease while degrading the health of our topsoil and our environment. FoodFight USA supports the accelerated adoption of regenerative and biodynamic farming practices that prioritize soil health, maximize biodiversity, and produce nutrient-dense foods.
