Family Farm Action Alliance to Release Pivotal Agricultural Consolidation Report in Partnership with Open Markets Institute at Virtual Event

Family Farm Action Alliance and Open Markets Institute will host a virtual briefing on Thursday, Nov. 19 from noon to 1 p.m. ET, to release a new report, “The Food System: Concentration and Its Impacts,” written by Dr. Mary Hendrickson, a leading food systems expert and professor of rural sociology at the University of Missouri, and her team. Sen. Cory Booker, who has been an outspoken critic of America’s consolidated food system, will also join the briefing to discuss the report.

The report provides updated data on corporate agricultural consolidation, as part of a holistic and comprehensive analysis of the dangers of overly concentrated food supply chains. It also includes bold proposals for decentralizing our agri-food system, to move power out of the control of just a few.
