More than 70 experts and community members involved in Indianas ongoing CAFO fight circled the wagons this week to share information and seek solutions to the environmental hazards and public health risks associated with Indiana’s sprawling mega farming industry. “Indiana is becoming a factory farm for outside interests,” said Terry Spence, a regional coordinator with SRAP and one of the meeting’s speakers. “U.S. farmlands are being used to support the bottom-line of international industrial agriculture, and that puts the health and sustainability of rural communities at-risk. Lawmakers in every state — and particularly Indiana — need to back the people who live and work on the land, not faceless, nameless stockholders.”
