“Processing is the huge bottleneck. If we had more local processing [facilities], it would be way better for the carbon footprint, it would be better for the animals, and hopefully better for the consumers as well.” https://t.co/2bK4OTFWoV

[Young Farmers @YoungFarmers]

Young farmers across the country are working hard to build a better food system. That's why we partnered with @ChipotleTweets to offer $5k grants to 50 #youngfarmers and ranchers to support them in building successful careers in ag. Click to read more! https://t.co/xHcjAxL4tZ

We are on the brink of a farming catastrophe that will affect our relationship to good food for a generation. According to the monthlong survey we’ve just completed, 30 to 40 percent of the small, independent farms nationwide are facing bankruptcy. https://t.co/gX4yE03ZoB

Food production jobs — in the fields or in meat processing plants, for example — have always been hard. We talked with @GosiaWozniacka about her reporting for @CivilEats on working conditions during the pandemic https://t.co/LLDfIkU8C7

[National Farmers Union @NFUDC]

Rather than supporting small & mid-sized farms that needed it most, most of last year's trade aid went to the largest, wealthiest farms.

Many family farmers are worried that pandemic assistance will be handled similarly, & they will be left out yet again.

BREAKING: We just published the @HumaneSociety Food Industry Scorecard on where nearly 100 of the largest food companies are on animal welfare. Some really well (like @bamco, @ChipotleTweets, @Unilever, @WholeFoods) others not so much. https://t.co/l8s8fiidlN
