Farm Aid
This organization focuses on keeping family farms on the land. They are growing the good food movement, and giving people access to family farm foods. Also, they aid farmers after natural disasters, give farmers access to new markets and transition them to more sustainable and profitable farming practices. Farm Aid promotes fair farm policies and bring awareness to the eaters about issues like genetically modified food, and growth hormones.
I really am for the idea of eating "real" foods, not some kind of processed, altered, or growth enhanced food. Since I want to be a health fitness coach, and am a vegetarian, I believe the best food comes right from the earth. Today's processed food system is very much connected to cancers, obesity, and diseases in America. I love that this organization is promoting and helping farmers to grow fresh, local foods.
