Organic Agriculture Under The Trump Administration, Marne Coit
Organic Agriculture Under The Trump Administration, Marne Coit
Journal of Food Law & Policy
This essay will examine the implications of the policies of the upcoming Trump administration on the integrity of the National Organic Program (NOP), the regulations promulgated under the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA). Advocates fears of weakening organic standards are likely to become reality under the Trump administration. Support for organic may be dependent on high returns for large agricultural producers. However, there is a negative correlation between larger agri-businesses entering the organic market and the erosion of the organic standards. The Trump administration will likely continue down the path of supporting larger agribusinesses—to the detriment of not only smaller, …
Eating Is Not Political Action, Joshua Galperin, Graham Downey, D. Lee Miller
Eating Is Not Political Action, Joshua Galperin, Graham Downey, D. Lee Miller
Journal of Food Law & Policy
To create policy at the interface of the centrally important and overlapping American ideals of agriculture and the environment, there are two options. Passive governance fosters markets in which participants make individual choices that aggregate into inadvertent collective action. In contrast, assertive governance allows the public, mediated through elected officials, to enact intentional, goal-oriented policy. This essay contends that the latter option, assertive governance, is the only appropriate means of creating harmony between agriculture and the environment it depends upon.
Farming And Eating, Margot J. Pollans
Farming And Eating, Margot J. Pollans
Journal of Food Law & Policy
There has long been tension between rural and urban communities, often referred to as the urban-rural divide. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has exacerbated this divide. However, urban and rural groups rely on each other; farmers need eaters in densely populated areas for markets and eaters need farmers for food. In recognition of this codependency, this essay proposes a coalition of farmers, food consumers, and environmentalists to lead agricultural policy and stop the divide between farming and eating.

After The White House Garden: Food Justice In The Age Of Trump, Garrett M. Broad
After The White House Garden: Food Justice In The Age Of Trump, Garrett M. Broad
Journal of Food Law & Policy
It’s debatable whether President and First Lady Obama’s White House garden was a positive or negative symbol to the community food justice movement—but it did send a signal. This essay speculates what, if anything, the Trump administration will signal to these community food justice activists. It also recommends a potential strategy for grassroots food justice advocates fighting for already limited resources.
The Butz Stops Here: Why The Food Movement Needs To Rethink Agricultural History, Nathan A. Rosenberg, Bryce Wilson Stucki
The Butz Stops Here: Why The Food Movement Needs To Rethink Agricultural History, Nathan A. Rosenberg, Bryce Wilson Stucki
Journal of Food Law & Policy
From the 1890s to the 1930s, rural Americans played a vital role in radical leftist politics. While specialists know this history well, the public tends to know a folk history, written by figures associated with contemporary food movements. This folk history rests on several key myths, which cover different periods of modern history from the New Deal to the present. This essay challenges these myths to reveal the causes and extent of the suffering endured by rural families in the 20th century, which in turn, decimated the populist left. A reconsideration of the history of agricultural policy will help food-system …

Journal of Food Law & Policy
After Donald Trump’s victory last November, we put out a call for brief essays examining what happened, what’s likely to happen, and what policymakers and advocates can do to keep pushing forward. The response was extraordinary. We received thought provoking submissions on a number of important topics, including antitrust, trade policy, food safety, and labor, among others. Instead of running a standard issue comprised of legal articles—with essays as an accompaniment—we decided to reverse the format and devote the bulk of this issue to these essays. The result is a penetrating and timely look at the state of food law …
