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.

- Define and enforce marketing term standards
- Create voluntary transparency certification programs
