NFFC Comments on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Implementation on Broadband

NFFC February 2, 2022 NFFC Weighs In

For-profit companies are not interested in providing services to isolated communities that will not compensate them or provide a profit for their investment. Small and medium providers, cooperatives, non-profits, and municipalities should be encouraged to fill this gap.

NFFC Comments on the Impact of Supply Chain Disruptions on Competition in Consumer Goods and Retail

NFFC January 28, 2022 NFFC Weighs In

NFFC’s food sovereignty commitment is at peril because as producers, transformers, and consumers our dependency to a food system controlled by corporations hurts our economy, our health, and our freedom.

NFFC Comments on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Indoor/Outdoor Work Settings

NFFC January 26, 2022 NFFC Weighs In

From the farmer, rancher, and commercial fishery point of view the relevance of cost-benefit of any regulation is fundamental but is secondary to the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas

National Call for Fair Prices, Systemic Dairy Policy Reform

NFFC November 10, 2021 NFFC Weighs In

We need a new U.S. dairy policy oriented towards small and mid-size dairy farms rather than corporate agribusiness, and call on our political leadership to support farmer- and worker-centered systemic U.S. dairy policy reform. To support true sustainability from our kitchen table to our planet, we must support economic justice for dairy producers.

NFFC Comments to USDA on Buy American – November 2, 2021

NFFC November 2, 2021 NFFC Weighs In

The problem of supplying the school system goes beyond the specifics of the national school lunch program. Agriculture policy in the United States has pushed many farmers, ranchers, and small-scale fisheries out of business.
