Center for Food Safety Statement on Former President Trump's Victory in Presidential Election

November 07, 2024
Center for Food Safety

Following the election of Donald Trump to a second term as president, Center for Food Safety (CFS) issued the following statement:

"Donald Trump's previous tenure in office was marked by an extreme willingness to roll back environmental protections, weaken standards on pesticides, and enrich corporations at the expense of public health and the planet. Now, more than ever, our work to protect our environment and public health is paramount. And we are more than ready to take on the fight. During the last Trump Administration, we went to court and defended family farmers' right to protect their crops from the toxic pesticide dicamba, protected animal welfare and integrity in organic food labeling, and won cases protecting farmworkers and the iconic Monarch butterfly from toxic pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used pesticide in the world. Our work to create a more sustainable food system and to safeguard our food, environment, and health remains the same. In the days, weeks, and years to come, we will continue to act as the first line of defense against harmful policies and rollbacks of environmental regulations."

For over 25 years, CFS has worked to create a more sustainable food system and to safeguard our food, environment, and health—regardless of the political landscape in Washington DC. Our mission to hold corporations accountable, protect natural resources, and advocate for transparent food systems is about something bigger than politics: it's about the future of our shared home and the health of generations to come.
