ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP

Food and agriculture - our conservation program works to protect the source of our food: our soil and water. This includes ongoing projects to protect drinking water from agricultural pollution, and to protect soil from pesticides, erosion and contamination from these same industries. We do this work to protect our natural resources because they are vital and irreplaceable, but also because pollution in our environment inevitably becomes pollution in our bodies. Our goal is to illustrate the connection between the broken u.s. Agricultural system, farm subsidies, the damage being done to our land and health, and the increasing lack of access to healthy food and fresh produce for today's families. Our strategy is designed to address these issues and push u.s. Agriculture in a more sustainable direction that stands up for both the health of our land and our food.
