Check out how the biggest US-based restaurants compare to each other, and compared to what they should be doing to protect our shrinking supply of antibiotics that work to combat infections! @PIDSociety @IDSAInfo @aetiology @statnews @CIDRAP @GlobalEcoGuy

Proud that @NRDCFood is a part of this amicus brief with @RuralCo @IACupdate in support of debt relief for BIPOC farmers. Racism in the food system runs deep and needs to be addressed. ruralco.org/press-releases…

Congratulations to the new @FTC Chair, @linamkhan! Her knowledge and experience in antitrust work will help protect farmers, ranchers, and workers and create fairness in our food system. farmaction.us/2021/04/09/foo…

When it comes to limits on the use of antibiotics in our food, the @US_FDA needs to prioritize public health — not profit-seeking drug companies. Learn more with @NRDC's David Wallinga (@Food_Dr): nrdc.org/experts/david-…

California's food system vulnerabilities have been laid bare this past year. To withstand future crises, we must take action to advance solutions that build resilience and support small farmers. #YesOnAB125 on.nrdc.org/3gh4G1C

How California can create a more equitable food system

State funds would allow California to support small farmers and ranchers who have been left out of publicly funded agriculture programs. This will help build resilience into our food system.

Cover crops are an effective farming tool for improving soil health, climate, and water quality — yet less than 7% of U.S. cropland uses them. Learn more new cover crop programs that will support farmers and combat #ClimateChange below. 👩🏽‍🌾 on.nrdc.org/3gfgvGP

This is simply unacceptable. The extent and documentation of corporate irresponsibility at the global meatpacking company JBS is massive — rendered more so by the toll of workers falling sick or dying with COVID-19. on.nrdc.org/3iARDeo

Our future health is at stake. Follow this 3-part thread and put FDA on notice it needs try harder and move faster to make sure all animal antibiotics finally have time (duration) limits. @IDSAInfo @PIDSociety @PIDS_PH @saveantibiotics @Stop_Superbugs

An Emergency Temporary Standard that protects food system workers during COVID-19 is long overdue. We support calls for OSHA to take immediate action. on.nrdc.org/3037hoT @NationalCOSH @MassCOSH @OxfamAmerica @foodchainworker @HEAL_Food @NJWEC @lastmileworks

Essential workers need PPE, proper air ventilation and social distancing in their workplaces. Contact whitehouse.gov/contact/ to tell President @JoeBiden @POTUS to release the @OSHA_DOL ETS to #ProtectWorkersNow

Our food, water, and bodies are increasingly polluted with highly toxic, '#ForeverChemicals, called PFAS. Leading women's health organizations are sounding the alarm for moms and babies, calling for a #PFAS ban @UCSF_PRHE @#HealthandEnv

You may not recognise the name #PFAS, yet you’re likely to come in contact with these toxic chemicals on a daily basis. Find out why FIGO, @HealthandEnv and @UCSF_PRHE are concerned about these #ForeverChemicals at ow.ly/qeTi50EUTDd #environmentalhealth #BanPFAS

Huge win for public health, and for future generations of children to not be poisoned from this especially nasty insecticide. @CEHN @pesticideaction @kathryngilje @JBSass

@NRDC's @JBSass highlights that "The court ruled in favor of science" following the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit rulling that @EPA must ban #chlorpyrifos a widely usedpesticide linked to neurological damage in children #industryinfluence washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
