Take the "Replace Roundup" Challenge!
Monolithic agribusiness & biotech corporations like Monsanto are gaining more and more power over our food supply, thanks in part to Congress creating policies that give them competitive advantage while harming small farmers & competitors, but also because we consume their products every day, without knowing it.
Want to do something about it? Watch this video, then accept the challenge below:
Failure to Yield: Evaluating the Performance of Genetically Engineered Crops

The End of Small Farms, Part II - HR 759 is in committee, worse than HR 875 (the Monsanto bill)
Our food freedom is under attack! HR 759 has eclipsed HR 875 as a danger to America's small farmers. Currently in committee (and more likely to pass), NOW is the time to act to stop this threat to our freedom to buy, grow and eat real foods. A vote is expected by Memorial day.
