In the US, the Family Farm has nearly been obliterated. It has been replaced with Mega Corporate Factory Farms that poison the land and the food supply with toxic chemicals for maximum profit.

Then speculators inflate the price of that food with bankster bets that skyrocket prices while the poor needlessly starve around the world. There are a billion people that are starving in the world today. But there is enough food to feed everybody.

Farmers are now joining the Occupy Movement to call attention to this horrendous situation.

As Wall Street’s corrupt influence on the economy has grown, the corporate ownership of our food system has hurt the health and livelihood’s of some of our most vulnerable communities. This Sunday, December 4th food justice activists and occupiers will be traveling from as far as Colorado, Iowa, Maine and Upstate New York to join together for the Occupy Wall Street FARMERS’ MARCH.Through a day of dialogue, musical performances, and a march, farmers and their urban allies working for food justice in their communities will form alliances to fight and expose corporate control of the food supply.

Events throughout the day will call and inspire participants to fight against the corporate manipulation of the agriculture system. An industry that is responsible for using chemical toxins tied to soaring obesity rates, heart disease and diabetes and limiting access to affordable, wholesome food to the country’s poorest citizens.
