About This Organization

1173733_10151841504523164_1235554842_nThe Environmental Defense Fund is one of the world’s largest environmental organizations, with more than 1.5 million members and a staff of 500 scientists, economists, policy experts, and other professionals around the world. Right now, their top policy priority is ensuring that the EPA uses the authority it has to limit climate pollution. Their agriculture and land use initiatives focus on securing a sustainable, productive food supply that also supports a resilient environment. EDF has implemented programs to help farmers improve on-farm conservation practices, remove barriers to water trading and create incentives that reward farmers and ranchers – the region’s largest water consumers – for practices that return water to rivers. EDF has worked with farmers in over 10 states to help them reduce fertilizer loss by an average of 25% on 750,000 acres across the U.S., while maintaining or increasing crop yields.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
