TAKE ACTION BY NOVEMBER 15: Tell the FDA to Protect, not Attack Small Farmers: salsa3.salsalabs/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12303 Love your local farms, farmers markets, and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture)? They could be in trouble thanks to heavy-handed new rules proposed under the Food Safety & Modernization Act (FSMA). Under the guise of “food safety,” the FSMA would create new barriers for small and mid-scale farmers and processors who have for years been working to create local markets – restaurants, co-ops, groceries, schools – for their locally grown produce. Who wins? The big guys, as usual. Who loses? Consumers. Farmers. Local markets. And Mother Earth. TAKE ACTION BY NOVEMBER 15: Tell the FDA: The FSMA puts small and mid-scale farmers and processors at a competitive disadvantage against corporate farmers and producers who can more easily absorb costs, fees and fines. Please revise the FSMA to level the playing field for small growers salsa3.salsalabs/o/50865/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12303
