Food & Agriculture

Established in 1999 by the Consumer Federation of America, the Food Policy Institute conducts research and advocacy to promote a safer, healthier, and more affordable food supply. CFA also coordinates the Safe Food Coalition, which is dedicated to reducing the burden of foodborne illness in the United States by improving government food inspection programs.

CFA organizes the highly praised National Food Policy Conference, held each spring in Washington DC. The conference explores the top food and agriculture issues of the day with a diverse mix of policy makers, advocates, and scientists.
