The Union of Concerned Scientists puts rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet's most pressing problems. UCS' Food & Environment program is working to promote policies that will help build a food system that is healthy for everybody—the people who grow our food, the people who eat it, and the soil, water, and air that we all depend on. Government can't solve all our food system woes, but it can be a part of the solution.
