STATEMENTS ON USDA SECRETARY VILSACK’S CONFIRMATION
The Farm to Fork Initiative brings together national advocacy organizations with state and local networks across the country focused on sustainability, hunger, health, equity, and nutrition. We aim to advance a more equitable food system in which everyone has enough healthy and safe food; the food system supports and does not undermine health, particularly for vulnerable communities and families; our climate and environment are protected; and all food chain workers have dignity and economic opportunity.
