Policy Issues
Understanding the problems helps us advocate for better solutions
Labeling Laws
Restaurants should be required to disclose ingredient sourcing and processing methods, just like packaged food.
Small Producer Support
Current regulations favor industrial-scale operations and create impossible barriers for small farms and local producers.
Additives & Seed Oils
Many substances allowed in US food are banned in other countries. Consumers deserve to know what they're eating.
Farm to Table
Connecting restaurants directly with local farms should be simple, not a regulatory maze.
Transparency
Consumers have the right to know what's in their food, where it comes from, and how it's prepared.

!The Problems
- Complex licensing requirements for direct sales
- Cold chain regulations that don't account for local delivery
- Liability concerns that discourage restaurant-farm partnerships
✓What We Want
- Create "farm-to-table" licensing category with simplified rules
- Adjust regulations for short-distance, same-day delivery
- Provide liability protection for verified local sourcing
