Fair Farms
The Fair Farms Campaign (2015 – 2022) brought together farmers, Waterkeepers, conservation groups, green businesses, and policy-makers to promote sustainable agriculture practices that regenerate the land, diversify local economies, and protect our water and air. Fair Farms, a public education and engagement initiative, partnered with consumers, businesses, farmers working outside the industrial system, and allied nonprofit organizations, to seek greater transparency from our elected officials and big food producers, and establish limits on pollution. A Farmer Advisory Council met regularly to guide the discussions on policy.
