The Campaign for a Just Food and Farm Policy

The Campaign for a Just Food and Farm Policy is a joint effort of the Rural Coalition/Coalición Rural, Missouri Rural Crisis Center and the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund. Together we are mounting a grassroots campaign to bring equity and justice to the debates over the 2002 Farm Bill and other policies that impact rural communities. The farm bill will be the focus of Rural Coalition's Food 'n Justice campaignfor the coming year.
