Food Democracy Now! is a grassroots movement initiated by farmers, writers, chefs, eaters and policy advocates who recognize the profound sense of urgency in creating a new food system that is capable of meeting the changing needs of American society as it relates to food, health, animal welfare and the environment.
They are seeking signatures of people who want Obama to appoint friends of sustainable, healthy food to the USDA. The organizers of the petition (which includes big names like Michael Pollan and Alice Waters) are in talks with the Obama team and they feel that 100,000 signatures is crucial in getting what they’re asking for.
At the time of this posting, there are 60,583 signatures. Time is short and we need to reach 100,000. Please take a moment to sign the petition at Food Democracy Now.
