About [Edit]
The Center for Rural Affairs, a private, non-profit organization, is working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities.
Our mission is to establish strong rural communities, social and economic justice, environmental stewardship, and genuine opportunity for all while engaging people in decisions that affect the quality of their lives and the future of their communities.
We educate the public about the consequences of industrialization and corporate farming; we organize family farm livestock producers to regain control of their industry; and we advocate for state and federal policies that level the playing field for family farmers.
Rural communities face crises of population loss, infrastructure decline, economic erosion, and lack of leadership. The statistics are grim. Yet rural residents and the Center believe that rural communities are worth saving.
The Center works for agricultural policy that strengthens opportunity for family farmers and ranchers and that promotes good stewardship of our natural resources. We push for a "new generation" of federal policy, one that integrates agricultural, conservation, and development to improve the futures of rural communities and their residents.
We also work in research policy, conservation, beginning farmer and rancher opportunities, and rural development and the unique health care issues of rural America.
