Why Should We Care? 🌾
You might be thinking, "Hey, I'm not a farmer, why does this matter to me?"
It’s actually pretty simple: Sustainability.
To keep our food supply strong and reliable, our farmers and ranchers need to be able to make a steady living. If they can't access markets easily, it becomes much harder for them to stay in business. When farms struggle, it affects everything—from the variety of food in your local grocery store to the overall stability of the food we all rely on every single day.
To keep our food system healthy, we need to make sure the rules of the game actually help the people growing our food, rather than just making their jobs harder. We want our farmers to thrive, not just survive!
