New Farm Bill Puts Foreign-Owned Agribusiness Over Families And States

As a mother, I spend a lot of time thinking about the kind of country my children will inherit. I think about the food on our table, the values we model in our home, and the basic lesson I try to teach every day: we are responsible not only for ourselves, but for the impact we have on others. That’s why I’m deeply concerned about provisions in the House Agriculture Committee’s new Farm Bill that would strip states and families like mine of our ability to decide what standards we want attached to the food sold in our communities.
