Toward Healthy Food and Farms: How Science-Based Policies in the 2012 Farm Bill Can Transform Agriculture
Register for the Webinar Today
Ever wonder why corn chips and sugary drinks cost less than carrots and squash? In large part, it's because government policies make the wrong foods cheaper and more abundant. Billions of dollars in federal subsidies give processed foods an unfair advantage over fruits, vegetables, pasture-raised meats, and other healthy foods.
The chance to change these policies comes just once every five years!
The Union of Concerned Scientists is working to change these policies, and to level the playing field for healthy, locally produced food.
Want to learn more about the Farm Bill, and what it means for you, your health, and the economy?

We will cover the latest Farm Bill news from Capitol Hill, followed by an overview of UCS analysis showing that support for local food can benefit the economy and our health. Finally, we'll share how you can take effective action now to urge Congress to support healthy and sustainable food production in the 2012 Farm Bill.
