The Farm and Food Policy Project (FFPP) has launched a website which lets individuals sign an on-line letter to Congress to show support for policies which advance fresh, local, and healthy foods in the 2007 Farm Bill.

The website http://healthyfarmbill.org/ sends email letters to individual’s Representatives and Senators based upon their address information. You can link to this website to compliment your existing outreach capability on Farm Bill issues.
The goal is to show general support to Congress of policies which advance fresh, local, healthy foods, and offer support for bills in the House and Senate being introduced just prior to the House Agriculture Chairman’s Farm Bill.
I hope that by helping to understand the importance of different sensitivities, I can contribute to find effective ways to reduce social tensions. Through my consultancy, advocacy and research work, I hope to contribute to the creation of synergies between private, public and civil society organizations that strengthen food rights protection especially for the most vulnerable populations. But to make this ideal a reality, grass-root projects need financial resources. The work of the lovely people at Chapel and York - international & cross-border fundraising for charities & non-profits - contributes to make this happen. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
