The Difference
FarmSTAND Makes

Farmers and ranchers, food chain workers, and rural residents are leading the fight for food justice. FarmSTAND works with these communities to transform the food system into something that works for all of us.

How We Work

What We Tackle

Worker Justice

Worker justice is central to the fight to transform our food system. FarmSTAND seeks to ensure the health, safety, and dignity of work for all food system workers.

Animal Welfare

As corporations go back on animal welfare promises, we stand apart by tackling the whole system. We use every tool in the toolbox to prevent inhumane treatment of animals.

Consumer Rights

Transparency is essential to a just food system. Knowing how our food is produced and how food system workers are treated helps ensure fairness and accountability.

Climate & Environmental Protection

We are taking action to enforce environmental laws, and stop deceptive corporate greenwashing and false climate solutions.

Farmers & Rural Communities

We work alongside farmers, ranchers, and rural communities to challenge the corporate power behind industrial animal agriculture and keep farming in the hands of people, not corporations.
