What will we eat in the future? What was once an rhetorical musing has now become the critical question of our time as scientists grapple with tricky questions about life—and larders—in a climate-changing world. 

Got organic milk?

There are plenty of reasons to drink it.

And there are lots of organic dairies producing—with real integrity—authentic nutrient-dense organic milk, including raw milk.

Unfortunately for those organic dairies and for consumers, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program (NOP) lets some very large dairies get—and keep—organic certification, even though they don’t play by the rules.

SIGN THE PETITION: Tell the National Organic Program: No more cow flipping! Finalize the Origin of Livestock Rule and close the loopholes that let Big Organic dairies cheat family farmers and consumers.

Why is it especially urgent that we ramp up the campaign against Roundup weedkiller right now?

Because the U.S. EPA is facing a deadline to decide whether to renew—or ban—glyphosate.

There are signs that the political will to keep allowing this cancer-causing chemical to poison us is faltering.

But without massive grassroots pressure, we will lose momentum.

A generous donor has offered to match donations to our Millions Against Monsanto campaign through midnight PST, October 13. Please make your donation today, either online, by phone or by mail.

Public opinion turned against Monsanto and Roundup long ago.

Now, there’s a glimmer of hope that regulators are tired of taking heat for supporting the likes of Monsanto and its parent company, Bayer.

Think consumers don’t have much power? Think again. 

It may have taken a few years, but consumers can take the lion’s share of credit for bringing down Big Food’s $2-billion lobbying group.

Back in the day before Congress killed consumers’ right to know about GMOs, the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) spent millions of dollars in California to defeat a citizen ballot initiative in 2012 that would have required labels on GMO foods.

That made the GMA and its members—including organic and natural brands owned by Big Food corporations—favorite targets of pro-labeling consumers. 

Brands weren’t too happy about that. So when a similar initiative came on the ballot in Washington, the GMA tried to protect Big Brands by illegally laundering donations to the anti-labeling campaign.

From then on, it was all downhill for Monsanto’s Evil Twin.  

From the “Department of Here We Go Again,” the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) needs our help—again—to remind the Trump administration that all forms of genetic engineering must be excluded from organic production.

We have only until midnight EST October 3 to flood the NOSB with comments.

TAKE ACTION BY MIDNIGHT EST OCTOBER 3: Tell the National Organic Standards Board: NO GMOs in Organic!
