Power of Persistence: Annual Report 2025

Power of Persistence: Annual Report 2025

For more than twenty-five years, Center for Food Safety (CFS) has been on the front lines of a fight that defines our future. From the rise of genetically engineered (GE) monoculture crops and the massive increase in toxic pesticides they created, to the pollution of our land and waters by animal factory farms, we have never wavered in our mission: to protect people and the planet from the harms of industrial agriculture. Our persistence has protected farmers and farmworkers, pollinators and endangered species, mothers and children, animals both wild and farmed, and the native ecosystems and earth systems that sustain us all.

Today, that persistence matters more than ever. In a time of profound political uncertainty and an alarming assault on science, environmental protections, and the rule of law, our resolve has only grown stronger. Big Ag's influence has crept deeper into agencies meant to defend the public good. But while the political landscape grows darker, we continue to find light—and justice—in the courts. That is where we are holding the line, issue by issue, case by case, to protect our and our children's right to a sustainable and just food system.

Your support fuels this resistance. Every legal challenge, every victory, every act of courage is made possible by people like you who refuse to surrender our food, our health, or our planet to corporate greed. Thanks to your steadfast support, CFS remains a force that cannot be silenced or sidelined. And we will keep pushing forward, watchdogging the current administration, going to court, and educating stakeholders and the public to build a powerful grassroots movement; to build a better future for our food and safeguard our food and environment for generations to come. In the pursuit of an equitable, humane, and just food system, persistence is not just a virtue; it is a lifeline for democracy, health, and the Earth itself.
