On the brink of a new administration, we stand a chance to shift how our government sets policy about food and farming policy by speaking up for a new leader of the USDA who would put the environment, human health, and worker welfare above the narrow interests of the biggest producers.
With this spirit in mind, I have added my name to a letter to the President-Elect framing the values we share about food and farming in this country and offering the names of candidates who would be wonderful leaders at the USDA.
If you haven’t already, take a look at the Food Democracy letter to the Obama administration. We have already tallied 48,000 signatures. If we could top 100,000 that would certainly put us on the map!
