Intensive agriculture in the US damages the environment, wastes natural resources, drives climate change, and harms both animals and humans.
Intensive Agriculture’s Impact on the Common Good
The Global Potential of Agroecology
Agroecology provides a pathway for the intersectional transformation of food systems.
Sustainable Food Production Offers Multiple Global Benefits
Sustainable food production can provide multiple win-wins for human wellbeing and environmental health.
Organic Agriculture’s Role in Transforming the US Food System
Organic agriculture can contribute to building a more sustainable food system.
Extreme Weather and US Agriculture
Climate change and extreme weather threaten the future of US food production. What actions can be taken to put our food system on a better course?
The Intersecting Benefits of Sustainable Agriculture
Addressing the ongoing problems of climate change, human hunger and inequality, and animal exploitation in our food system starts with sustainable agriculture.
Is Alternative Meat Better for the Environment?

The Food System of Tomorrow: A Call to Action
It is important to transform food systems at global and local levels to reduce GHG emissions, improve ecosystem health, respect animal welfare, and re-balance rural economies.
Building a Food System that Supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Industrial agriculture is threatening its own future, and ours along with it. Sustainable plant-based food production can become a way of healing our earth, our communities, and our health.
The High Cost of Consuming Animals
Worldwide, roughly 70 billion animals are raised and slaughtered each year within the food system. Producing so many animals comes with a high price for us, for animals, and for our planet. These costs make the UN Sustainable Development Goals much harder to achieve.
Industrial Agriculture Threatens Sustainable Development
The rise of industrial agriculture has built agribusiness empires while endangering human, animal and environmental health. To bring the SDGs within reach, we must confront the challenge of achieving a sustainable food future.
