We’ll share our dream: We want a food system that prioritizes farmers, consumers, animals, and the environment. We want an end to the industrialized, monopolized version of farming.

A person in Louisiana has been hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu, the first “severe” case reported in the United States. Meanwhile, California governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to the outbreak. H5N1 bird flu is nothing new—it’s been around for decades. But the virus’s development over the past year has caused widespread alarm among scientists and public health experts. How the virus jumped to cows is not entirely clear, but experts suggest it may be linked to feed contaminated with waste from infected birds. “At this time in the American political cycle, you could see that introducing unpopular new animal health regulations would be really hard, not least because the American cattle lobby is almost as powerful as the National Rifle Association.” —Prof. James Wood, Infectious Disease Epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge The handling of the H5N1 outbreak is indicative of a food system that prioritizes efficiency and profits over public health. The time for reform is NOW. Join us at https://lnkd.in/gV4CePAV.

We have a food-security problem in our country: We’re growing less and less of our own food. Instead, the United States relies on other countries for important fruits and vegetables. In five of the past seven years, the United States imported more food than it exported. The result is an agricultural trade deficit, and projections for 2025 are worse than ever.
