Land Stewardship Project

Keeping the Land & People Together

Since 1982, the members of the Land Stewardship Project have been effectively challenging agribusiness corporations that pollute the land and force family farmers out of business. Today, corporations like Monsanto, Syngenta and Smithfield Foods do great damage to the land and people of rural America as they ruthlessly promote industrial agriculture, factory farms and genetic engineering.

The Land Stewardship Project is fighting back and working to build an agricultural system that puts people and the land first.

It’s time to change our food and farming system from the ground up. Please take a moment to check out the links below and learn more about what you can do to make a difference:

• The Syngenta Corporation & Atrazine: The Cost to the Land, People & Democracy. This report, published in January 2010 by the Land Stewardship Project and Pesticide Action Network North America, lays out the human and environmental damage caused by the widely used agricultural pesticide atrazine, and how the Syngenta Corporation interfered with the Environmental Protection Agency’s review of this dangerous chemical.

By joining the Land Stewardship Project, you’ll be taking a stand against agribusiness corporations that seek to seize greater and greater control of our food and farming system. We’ll keep you informed and engaged in LSP’s hands-on work to create a more sustainable food and farming system: stopping factory farms, passing progressive public policy, helping new farmers get started sustainably and creating local and regional food systems.
