SRAP supports communities as they protect themselves from the negative impacts caused by factory farms.

You don't have to be a politician to make a change.

And you don't have to face it alone.

If your community is concerned about an incoming or expanding industrial livestock operation, SRAP is here to help.

A USDA rule aimed at fairer pay and greater transparency for contract growers has been delayed again—now to December 2027. 🚨

Delaying fairness only benefits the corporations already holding the power.

These are real people living with real consequences.

Factory farms don’t just impact animals—they impact neighbors, families, schools, local economies, roads, clean water, public health, and the very fabric of rural communities.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund the expansion of the very systems harming rural communities.

@USDA has extended its pause on manure digester loans after concerns over project failures & operational issues.

Revealed: A major pork lobbyist is helping lead a “nonpartisan” nonprofit that publishes research papers and op-eds attacking state animal welfare laws, while omitting his industry role from public-facing materials.

This Memorial Day, beef prices have risen almost 15% since this time last year.

US regulators illegally backed away from responsibilities related to pollution-laden waterways in Iowa after meeting with officials from the state’s powerful farm lobby,  according to a lawsuit filed by @foodandwater, @Iowa_Env, and @ELPCenter.

What happens after you sign the contract?

Too many growers are left isolated, overwhelmed, and trapped in debt by a system designed to keep them powerless.

No grower should have to face it alone. Learn more: https://t.co/0606HWlATH

Across the country, nitrate pollution from manure runoff and factory farms is putting public health at serious risk.

Clean water is a human right—and communities shouldn’t be left paying the price for Big Ag's pollution. Learn more and take action: https://t.co/meB1hnVRjW

“Letting Monsanto off the hook so Big Ag can grow even more powerful is the last thing farmers need right now.”

Big Ag has spent decades consolidating power while independent farmers and rural communities pay the price.

Family farmers survive by helping each other.

Big Ag survives by consolidating power, squeezing out competition, and putting profits first.

That difference matters!

[Farm Aid @FarmAid]

"We Don't Make Enough to Be Greedy" — Willie Booker

What sets family farmers apart from the corporate operations trying to squeeze them out is farmers sharing what they have, including knowledge. That willingness to help each other rather than just compete is a real strength.

Nitrate crisis: “Pretending the problem doesn’t exist is not a legal option. Instead, @EPA needs to protect Iowans and follow the Clean Water Act by acknowledging that nitrate contaminates drinking water,” said @Iowa_Env general counsel Michael Schmidt.

The Department of Justice just settled a case involving Agri Stats and Big Chicken, accused of sharing sensitive data to manipulate grocery prices.

At a time when families are paying so much for groceries, transparency and accountability matter.

The Farm Bill is heading to the Senate and could override voter-approved laws like Prop 12 that set stronger standards for industrial agriculture.

Communities & family farmers deserve the right to shape what happens where they live.

Corporate consolidation hiding in plain sight 👀

Whenever possible, know your farmer and support truly local food systems that keep money in local communities—not corporate pockets. #KnowYourFarmer #SupportLocal https://t.co/qf8MbYTLef

California is missing 10 million tons of manure. Where did it all go?

[Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) @SRAProject]

Clean water is worth protecting. 💧

Through SRAP’s Water Rangers Program, communities are monitoring water quality, documenting pollution, and holding industrial livestock operations accountable.

This is community-powered water monitoring: https://t.co/acimD0ZfD9

[Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) @SRAProject]

SRAP joined more than 80 organizations calling on the @EPA to take emergency action on nitrate pollution in drinking water linked to industrial agriculture.

Clean water is a human right—and communities deserve action. https://t.co/rywiTgEIc3
