Now's the time to revisit ACGA's 2003 Food Policy Statement

by Keith Dittrich, Chairman 

I would like to take this opportunity to address a broader subject than just farming or ranching.  That is the general state of our entire food system in this country, and for the most part, rapidly becoming the food system of the entire world.  Ladies and gentleman the food system in the United States of America is broken and is rapidly deteriorating further.  This dysfunctional food system is one that is wreaking untold havoc around the world and partly to blame for the many serious global problems of our day both economic and societal.
