A fire at a Pacific Seafood aquaculture facility is prompting evacuation orders in an Oregon town as toxic smoke containing ammonia has made the air unsafe to breathe. Sadly, this is the kind of tragedy we can expect more of from industrial aquaculture as that system grows. We sued a different Pacific Seafood-owned facility in Oregon earlier this year for illegally discharging toxic chemicals like chlorine into the Columbia River. Industrial aquaculture pollutes our environment and our communities, and FarmSTAND will continue to hold these companies accountable. Center for Food Safety

Class of Consumers Sues Hannaford & Parent Company Over Deceptive Marketing of “Sustainable” Salmon The grocery store chain Hannaford aggressively markets its seafood as sustainable, when in reality it “sells industrially farmed salmon whose production inflicts grave harms on pristine marine ecosystems and has caused the destruction of marine life around the world,” according to a federal suit filed in New York late yesterday. The plaintiff is represented by fair food system advocacy organization FarmSTAND, the Center for Food Safety, Reese LLP, and Jennings & Earley PLLC.

With the fall semester well underway, I’m excited to share that I'm serving as a Legal Extern for Center for Food Safety! CFS works to defend healthy communities, the integrity of our food systems, and the environment from the impacts of industrial agriculture. I've loved working alongside a team of committed advocates and look forward to the rest of the semester!

“Eating is an agricultural act.” Few people changed the way we understand the relationship between food, land, and community as profoundly as Wendell Berry. For more than half a century, the writer and farmer challenged industrial agriculture and called us toward a food system rooted in care, culture, ecological responsibility, and respect for the people who cultivate the land. Center for Food Safety was honored to share a meaningful history with Wendell. In 2015, we presented him with the American Food & Farming Award at a special gathering on Capitol Hill. He also served alongside CFS leaders Andrew Kimbrell and Debi Barker on the International Commission on the Future of Food and Agriculture. We are deeply grateful for his wisdom, his courage, and the path he helped illuminate. May his work continue - in our fields, our communities, and the choices we make about food every day.
