A family farm is not defined by size, but rather by the fact that the
family provides the vast majority of the labor and management decisions.
What is a thriving sustainable family farm system?
A thriving, sustainable family farm system will only be possible if
supported by government policy that encourages widespread ownership
of land and ensures that farm product prices reflect all costs, both
internal and external, striving for economic justice throughout the
farm and food system.
What policies are needed for family farms?
Policy needs to restore competition to the buying, exporting, packing
and processing industries in all commodities.
