Support the Farm System Reform Act

Factory farms put public health and the food supply at risk, pollute the environment and drinking water, wreck rural communities, and fuel climate change — while increasing corporate control over our food.

The Farm System Reform Act is critical legislation that would place an immediate moratorium on the construction of new or expanding factory farms and phase out existing large facilities by 2040.

It’s time to change the fundamental structure of our food system, and that starts with banning factory farms.

Urge your Members of Congress to support the Farm System Reform Act (HR 4421/S 2332)!

I am writing to ask that you support the Farm System Reform Act. Especially in this Farm Bill year, we must change the fundamental structure of our food system and eliminate factory farms.

This legislation will revitalize independent family farm agriculture and rural communities by:
- Placing a moratorium on new and expanding large factory farms.
- Phasing out existing large factory farms by 2040.
- Holding corporate integrators responsible for harm caused by factory farms.
- Providing a $100 billion voluntary buyout program for contract farmers who want to transition away from factory farms.
- Strengthening the Packers & Stockyards Act to protect family farmers and ranchers
- Restoring mandatory Country of Origin Labeling for meat.
- Prohibiting USDA from labeling foreign imported meat products as “Product of USA.”

This is an important bill. Farmers are in crisis because the U.S. livestock and poultry system is dominated by a handful of multinational corporations and their web of factory farms that cruelly confine over a billion animals in cramped, unsanitary conditions; these conditions place the safety of our food at risk, pollute our air and water, harm the welfare of animals and workers, extract wealth from rural communities, push family farmers out of business, increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and increase corporate control of our food.

Please support the Farm System Reform Act, a groundbreaking solution to our factory farm crisis. The health of our rural communities and our planet depends on it.
