Peck, FFD executive director #608-260-0900 familyfarmdefenders@yahoo.com Jim Goodman, FFD board member #608-489-2291 r.j.goodman@mwt.net Madison, Wisconsin – April 6, 2017 The North American Free Trade Agreement must be replaced with a transparent trade agreement that ensures: farmers in all three nations receive fair prices for their production, consumers are guaranteed the right to know the content and origin of their food and strong environmental protections are put in place to protect the sustainability of rural communities. While the current structure of NAFTA has increased trade between Canada, Mexico and the United States, farm profit margins did not increase.
