Farms & Food On The Cutting Room Floor?

The Issue

It's clear that NY State is in a serious fiancial crisis and sacrifices need to be made, waste removed. The priorities of our 'representatives' become crystal clear when making tough budget decisions. The state budget is $134B, farming receives a scant .4 of 1%, about $100M of that. This tiny fraction of our taxpayer dollars helps to make it possible for us to meet our most basic needs - real food and clean water.

Ironically, the budget is due on April FOOLS Day - just who wins and who looses will show who the joke is on...and how we will vote in upcoming elections.

Four out of the top ten degenerative illnesses are linked to chronic malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies that can and always have been met through our food. RFC is working to reverse this ratio, to increase small farm viability and to create nutritionally sound food sovereignty.
