They have developed six initiatives - a few of which are important, such as allieviating hunger and promoting less junk food - but also chimes to the tune of removing subsidies for ethanol and reforming livestock production on "factory farms".
But Nebraska farmers and ranchers are the real experts on food. They ARE food. They produce the safe, nutritious and easily available food that is found in your local grocery store every day. And the organizers of Food Day didn't invite them to be a part of this celebration. But we know we have more to celebrate and we can share some important principles about food because to a farmer, everyday is Food Day.
Thanks to the Animal Agriculture Alliance, they have put together a great resource to talk about the upcoming Food Day: www.realfarmersrealfood.com.
Real Farmers, Real Food has five great goals that are more important to share for Food Day.
They have also teamed up with Nebraska native, Miss America 2011, Teresa Scanlan. She has a great message about the REAL farmers who produce REAL food - every day!
If you support American Agriculture, you can sign the pledge here, as well a read about myths and facts in food production.
CommonGround Nebraska also has some great messages about supporting the REAL Food Day. Read about it on their blog.
