Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Food, Agriculture & Nutrition
Mission: Through education, advocacy, and organizing, SRAP collaborates with communities to protect public health, environmental quality, and local economies from the damaging impacts of industrial livestock production and to advocate for a socially responsible food future.
Geographic areas served: We are headquartered in Delaware, with staff, board, and programming across the US. Currently, most of our engagement is in the Midwest and Southeast, though we offer our services to any community in the U.S. facing an industrial livestock operation.
Programs: Our overarching goal is to provide communities with the knowledge, tools, connections, and networks to protect their right to clean water, air, soil, and a vibrant future. We do this work through four primary program areas: 1) Our Community Support program works with the communities most impacted by factory farms. We offer our services free of charge to communities that request our help and are intentionally increasing our outreach, developing more off-the-shelf tools, increasing access to technical support, and improving management systems to serve more communities. 2) Our Food & Farm Network program engages farmers and rural residents to advocate on behalf of regenerative food systems, social justice, climate initiatives, public health, and animal welfare. 3) Our Water Rangers program assists impacted community groups in holding concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and corporations accountable for water pollution. 4) Our unique Contract Grower Transition Program provides outreach and education to former and current production contract growers. Often overlooked, these farmers are being exploited at the hands of agribusiness giants who control today’s increasingly consolidated and concentrated industrial system.
