Welcome to the Food Fight
The 2012 Farm Bill reauthorization debate is upon us, with the current law due to expire by September 30. Watershed Media has completely updated and revamped our popular Farm Bill primer, Food Fight: The Citizen’s Guide to the Next Food and Farm Bill, to maximize mainstream attention and democratic participation in this all important process.
So much has changed in the few short years since we released the first edition: Food Stamp enrollment has skyrocketed, deep cuts have been made to conservation programs, commodity prices have reached all-time highs, and nearly 40 percent of the feed corn crop is now used to make biofuel. Food Fight assesses the present state of food and farm policy by translating complex legislation for activists, media, concerned citizens, and policymakers new to the game.
Our campaign is under way with events planned around the country and hundreds of books in the hands of journalists, educators, politicians, and voters. We hope you will join us in getting the word out and voting with your fork!
