Published by City Farmer, Canada's Office of Urban Agriculture Heifer Project International Announces Urban Animal Agriculture Initiative in Chicago By Alison Meares Cohen alison.meares_cohen@heifer.org Heifer Project International (HPI) is a 52-year old organization which combats hunger and poverty and restores the environment by providing appropriate livestock, participatory training and related services to small-scale farmers worldwide. Traditionally HPI's outreach has been to rural communities, but in September of 1996 a pilot-project in urban agriculture was launched in the city of Chicago. HPI will work with poor urban communities to bring about food and economic self-sufficiency through agriculture-related micro-enterprise. Currently one group is hoping to raise a small breed of dairy goats for cheese sales. Another group is exploring raising honeybees on rooftops. The project is being implemented by Alison Meares, Chicago Field Rep, and supervised by Skip Polson, Director of HPI's USA/Canada Program.

Animal Agriculture Coalition Jay Lemmermen March 27, 2001 Mr. Chairman, I am Jay Lemmermen, Chair of the Animal Agriculture Coalition (AAC), and the Director of Quality Assurance for Southeast Milk, Inc. in Ocala, Florida. The AAC appreciates the opportunity to present to you and the Senate Agriculture Committee our priority items for the Research, Extension and Education title of the Farm Bill. The AAC is a coalition of livestock, poultry and aquaculture trade associations, and veterinary and scientific communities that monitors and influences animal health, environment, food safety, and research and education issues. The AAC has four primary goals: 1) revitalizing APHIS; 2) increase animal agriculture research funding; 3) increase involvement and influence regarding international sanitary/phytosanitary standards (SPS); and 4) enhance animal agriculture product safety and quality. Value of U.S. Animal Agriculture In 1999, crop, livestock and poultry cash receipts were $190 billion, of which $100 billion can be attributed to animal agriculture. The U.S. animal agriculture industries are an extremely important part of our nation's economy, accounting for almost 24 million jobs and 13% of the gross domestic product. Total cash receipts from animal agriculture represent only a small portion of the overall value we bring to the economy. There are many sectors of the food industry rely on animal agriculture, such as suppliers, veterinarians, transporters, distributors, food processors, exporters, and restaurants.

Localizing Animal Agriculture Small scale animal agriculture benefits local people without the hazards of intensive animal factories. During the WSSD, AWI's Adam Roberts participated in a presentation on "The Livestock Revolution: Problems for the Environment, Development, Human Health and the Animals," describing our work to promote humane husbandry standards for pigs in order to raise the animals in a compassionate and environmentally friendly way. He also detailed our work to prevent agribusiness giant Smithfield Foods from infiltrating countries such as Poland, which cling perilously to the last remaining vestiges of their family farming way of life. The discussion was met with great enthusiasm by audience members, including one South African farmer who noted that he recently acquired a small parcel of land, like many impoverished South Africans, and that he hopes to raise his animals on that land in accordance with AWI's humane principles. Meanwhile, Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) released a new report on the detrimental impacts of animal agriculture, which offers case studies from a variety of countries including China, Pakistan, and Brazil. The report concludes that "Food security, the environment, food safety, human nutrition and animal welfare are all put at risk by the present continued support for industrial animal farming." The author, Leah Garces, urges policymakers to "turn away from industrial animal agriculture and support a more humane and sustainable form of food production."
