The Future of Food,
Health, and Democracy

Imagine food and healthcare systems that work for people, not just Big Food and Big Pharma.

The Health of the Land Determines the Health of the Herd

Research shows that human health is greatly impacted by soil heath.

  • 90% of the Earth’s topsoil is likely to be at serious risk by 2050 if we fail to take action.
  • Today’s fruits and vegetables are 11% to 81% less nutritious since the 1930’s as a result of depleted soils.
  • In the past 100 years alone, 75% of global food crop varieties and over 93% of U.S. vegetable seed diversity have disappeared.

With chronic disease and environmental degradation on the rise, it’s urgent that we restore soil health —the foundation for healthy people, communities, and democracies.
