About — Feed the Land

OUR MISSION

To back regenerative farming and eliminate food insecurity by building channels that bridge local organic farmers with underserved communities.

THE REALITY

THE DECLINE BEGAN IN 1940s

The 1940s marks the beginning of the decline in U.S. farms. As farms disappeared, the ones that remained grew larger and more industrial — replacing traditional methods with factory-scale operations.

BIG AG TOOK OVER

Only 4 companies represent 73% of all beef processing, 54% of all chicken processing, and 45% of retail grocery markets. Big Agriculture owns and controls this dominant model — and is increasing the percentage of the food system that they own.

ANIMALS BECAME COMMODITIES

95 to 100% of retail and grocery meat is produced by an industry characterized by industrialization. Sunlight deprivation, density living, improper grain-based diets, and undesired pharmaceuticals are the realities retail farm animals are subjected to.

GREENWASHING MISLEADS CONSUMERS

In grocery markets, these products are misrepresented as foods grown in a way that aligns with nature. Through labels like "free range" and "vegetarian fed," big companies cast a net that captures more customers through misleading marketing.

NO SUCH THING AS CHEAP FOOD

Big Ag crumbles without government subsidies. The government paid the industry to produce more corn. This corn was given to animals, supporting improper diets. The true cost of mass consumption of nutritionally inferior food will be paid in human health.

LOCAL ORGANIC FARMERS BEING SQUEEZED OUT

Much like underserved communities are being suffocated by processed food, our local organic farmers are being suffocated by market pressure. They're being urged to compromise their nutrition quality and land stewardship for profit.

JOHNNY’S STORY

“Growing up, I didn’t know what organic food even was, and it certainly wasn’t offered in our local grocery store. Imagine this shared reality for hundreds of thousands of folks, through generations of folk that live in food deserts— they don’t have access to normal food.”

OUR PHILOSOPHY

FOOD SHAPES LIFE.

When we feed the land well, we feed people well—and everyone benefits. Eating better leads to living better, and every bite is a vote for the kind of food system we want.

FOOD SECURITY REQUIRES CO-PARTICIPATION.

We break down barriers so those affected can reclaim not just access, but true agency over the food they eat — addressing the very root of broken food systems.

THERE IS A RIGHT WAY TO FARM.

We work with farmers that focus on land stewardship and animal husbandry, contributing to soil restoration and greater biodiversity.

FARMER PROSPERITY

Those who grow our food deserve recognition, protection, and fair compensation.

GOOD FOOD SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUSIVE.

Unequal food access is fixed with custom solutions. By bridging food deserts to local farms, we boost food equity. Everyone deserves this level of access.

ACCESS RESHAPES MINDSET.

Many food-insecure communities have been conditioned to believe better food is out of reach. We believe exposure changes belief, and belief changes behavior—breaking cycles that limit health across generations.
