No Good Farms―No Good Food: Tell the FDA to Back Off
September 24, 2013

Story at-a-glance
- The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act consists of new food-safety rules and laws that make it extremely difficult, and incredibly prohibitively expensive, for small farms to comply
- Small farms were supposed to be exempt from the burdensome regulations, but the FDA has said it can force small farms to comply
- The proposed draft guidelines do not recognized that the riskiest practices to food safety come from industrial concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and have a strong bias against organic agriculture
- You can sign and add your comments to help protect small family farms; the Cornucopia Institute is going to hand-deliver the letters to the FDA
