How our society produces, distributes, and consumes food affects everyone. That’s why we’re fighting for a food system that nourishes and protects us all.

The meat industry wants Trump to roll back lifesaving regulations so it can make more money. They’re blaming DEI for high meat prices, when we know corporate greed and consolidation are at fault.

"The current farm bill safety nets are a farce that put farmers out of business and have resulted in loss of thousands of farms...We lost 141,733 farms from 2017 to 2022. How many more can we afford to lose by doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome?"

“You want a regulatory system where consumers know they’re getting a healthy, safe product that was produced in a way that was ethical,” says @austinfrerick.bsky.social. “When you get rid of that, you’re incentivizing the worst people.”

📊NEW REPORT! We spent 8 months analyzing data from @dol.gov, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the US Census Bureau for an updated look at the state of food work in 2025. We found that by basically any measure, food workers fared worse than almost all other workers: bit.ly/FoodWorkerData2025

There’s no food system justice without immigrant justice. Big Ag’s dominance is built on centuries of exploiting vulnerable immigrant and refugee workers. https://farmstand.org/how-big-ag-thrives-on-trumps-immigration-threats/

To beat Big Ag and build a fair food system, we need a strong and connected movement. That’s why FarmSTAND partners with communities across the country.

Big Ag wants to have its exploitation cake and eat it too. It depends on undocumented workers, but won’t stand up to anti-immigrant policy because it likes to keep its workforce afraid and compliant. Read more on the blog:

Big Ag desperately wants to hide the real impact of factory farms. It uses threats and intimidation to silence neighbors to continue business as usual.

Factory farming is at the root of the bird flu outbreak. We need to transform the food system, for public health’s sake. Our op-ed in @teenvogue.com explains: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/bird-flus-food-system-trumps-anti-public-health

Bird flu is a serious problem. Big Ag hasn’t stopped it because it values profit over health and safety.

The sites of ICE raids in Colorado today reinforce that this isn't only about cruelty--it's about corporate profits for bullies, landlords, employers, and others who profit off exploitation, knowing they'll never be held to account by terrified people. This crap isn't about safety.
