Farmers and Food Advocates Urge Obama to Create a National Sustainable Food and Agricultural Policy
A group of farmers, chefs and policy advocates called "Food Democracy Now" have submitted a letter to Obama's transition team urging him to take on industrialized agriculture and promote a more sustainable policy. The letter urges the President-elect to nominate a Secretary of Agriculture who will advocate for independent family farms, nutrition, environmental protection, food workers' rights and animal welfare.
