Town Hall MeetingIowa
Did you know that just a handful of multinational corporations control our food supply? This lack of competition in agricultural markets impacts farmers and consumers. Join Food & Water Watch and our allies on Thursday, March 11 at 7pm for a Town Hall Meeting to take on corporate power in our food system.
On Friday, March 12, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) will hold an anti-trust hearing in Ankeny on corporate concentration and lack of competition in agriculture. While their panels seek “balance” they are not hearing from enough independent family farmers.
Location: Best Western Hotel, 133 SE Delaware Ave, Ankeny (Take I-35 to Exit 92, west on 1st St., south on Delaware Ave.)
– Hear from farmers, leaders and experts in the national food democracy movement
– Special invited guests include top officials from the USDA and DOJ and Iowa's Congressional delegation, including Senators Harkin and Grassley
– Join us at this exciting meeting to demand that USDA and DOJ take immediate action to reduce corporate control of our food system and put people first
