Sign Our Petition for the 2007 Farm Bill Today! 

No Farms No FoodWork on the 2007 Farm Bill has begun, but the legislation is far from passed! Negotiations are underway leading up to a final vote this fall—right now we have a window of opportunity to let Congress know local farms and healthy food cannot be ignored in favor of special interests. Before the deals are made, sign your name to American Farmland Trust’s ‘No Farms, No Food’ petition.

You can make a difference. Help us gather 10,000 signatures before the 4th of July Congressional break. By signing your name to the petition, you’re letting Congress know it’s time for these priorities:

  • Protecting our working farms and ranches from sprawl
  • Making local foods more available
  • Encouraging healthy diets
  • Ending hunger in America
