If we want food and water security, “Fixing the dysfunctional food system must be part of a larger, broad-based strategy for dealing with the economic inequities of our society.”
–Wenonah Hauter, Foodopoly
Agricultural policy in the United States is not concerned with a quality life for farmers, promoting food security, or encouraging the responsible use of resources. We must find a way to end the abuses of agribusiness.
If our goal is to support the projected number of people, our first priority should be food and water. However, current policy-makers are oblivious to this need.
