  • family farmers have the power to earn a fair and dependable income;
  • everyone who labors in agriculture is respected, protected, and valued by society;
  • air, water and soil are preserved for future generations;
  • the land yields healthy and abundant food and fiber that is accessible to all members of society;
  • the full diversity of seeds and breeds, the building blocks of agriculture, are reinvigorated and publicly protected.
