FarmSTAND

We’re Fighting For A Fair Food System

FarmSTAND is the only legal group in the country dedicated solely to taking on Big Ag. We partner with directly impacted groups to fight in courtrooms and communities for better working conditions, humane treatment of animals, clean air and water, and food that’s safe to eat.

How our society produces, distributes, and consumes food impacts everyone. Right now, that system causes a lot of harm. A handful of corporations have consolidated control over all aspects of the food system, including shaping laws that let them exploit animals and the environment, as well as consumers and workers – often concentrating the worst harms on the most vulnerable communities.

Our food system should nourish people and protect animals and the environment – not just exist to further enrich wealthy corporations. 

That’s where we come in. FarmSTAND, which originated as the Food Project at Public Justice before becoming an independent organization, drives precedent-setting litigation rooted in our relationships with movement partners, and is building a nationwide network of attorneys with the knowledge and skills to fight alongside communities impacted by corporate agriculture.

Directly impacted communities – including farmers and ranchers, food chain workers, and rural residents – are leading the fight for food justice. Aligning the right resources and expertise alongside their efforts is essential to seeding transformational change. 

We know can’t do it alone. Join our movement for a food system for us, by us.
