We hold polluters accountable
Industrial agriculture pollutes our air, soil and water. We use the law to challenge harmful practices and hold governments and corporations to account.
-
We defend human rights
We defend the rights of farmers and workers affected by unfair food system practices, as well as the rights of communities harmed by agricultural pollution and environmental degradation. This includes working with partners to support the transition to safe and sustainable farming practices that provide dignified work, free from harmful chemical exposure and exploitative food markets.

We advocate for a fairer food system
We take on powerful lobbying groups that keep harmful food systems in place, and fight for more fair, ethical, and nature-friendly practices across food value chains which protect and support farmers and local communities and guarantee access to healthy food for all.
A food system that works for people and planet
Across the globe, industrial food models harm ecosystems and the local communities that depend on them. We’re working to build a fairer and more sustainable food system that upholds human rights and protects nature for a food-secure future for all.
