DONATE :: Leafy Greens Campaign

Join the Leafy Greens Campaign!

Like all farmers and farmer organizations, CAFF is deeply concerned about keeping our food healthy, diverse and community-secure. But we are just as concerned that an over-reaction to the E. coli outbreak might hurt small farmers and undermine their efforts to farm in an environmentally responsible manner.

Policies are being made as we speak. This matter is urgent!

Help us by joining the Leafy Greens Campaign today!

Your quick response will enable us to take swift action to protect the conservation & stewardship practices that are so important to sustainable family farms.

Your contribution to the campaign will help in so many ways, by helping us:

• Advocate increased research into husbandry practices in livestock to prevent shedding of E. coli 0157.
• Initiate a publicly coordinated program for testing of surface waters for E. coli 0157 and a database that charts the results of those tests.
• Conduct a public outreach effort that educates consumers regarding issues pertinent to the Leafy Greens Campaign.
• Advocate for the importance of wildlife and conservation plantings on farms and for appropriate and safe ways to integrate livestock and wildlife into small-scale cropping systems.
• Develop training and support materials for CAFF farmers to educate them in growing leafy greens and other at-risk crops to the highest standards of hygiene and sanitation.

Thank you for taking action on this important issue.
