Today is World Soil Day!
Soil is the foundation of our food and ecosystems, but it's under threat from, you guessed it, factory farming.
We need to invest in regenerative farming that nourishes the land and feeds people sustainably, and scrap industrial agriculture for good.🌱

This Thanksgiving, let’s ask: are we feeding families—or factory farms?
Nearly 70% of U.S. grain goes to animals in industrial systems, not "people."

This Thanksgiving, Let’s Feed Families, Not Factory Farms | Common Dreams
Nearly 70% of the grain grown in this country—corn, soy, wheat, and barley—never feeds a single human being. Instead, it’s fed to pigs, chickens, and cows packed into industrial animal factories.
