Rural Communities Can Have It All
ACRE brings together agricultural, community, rural and environmental goods to support the future people seek to build.
Why Our Work Matters
Getting to the goods calls for recognizing past and ongoing losses to build a better tomorrow. ACRE helps rural communities record their memories, find levers for change, and reorganize for a future that celebrates them.
Turning Information Into Action
Giving and growing can sometimes be confused with sacrifice and extraction. ACRE's tools help people identify who or what may ultimately be benefiting from sacrifices they are being asked to make, from losing their clean water to being driven off the land and out of farming.
Enter Into Big Ag's Global Network
Dig into the backstage of the largest agribusinesses globally. Get a better sense of how the same leaders and firms own across sectors, giving farmers and eaters fewer choices. Get access to the data that helps us understand global corporate control over the food system in order to stop it.
Dignify the Past
Join the effort to document lost rural homes. Help ensure that rural homes that once stood are not forgotten but memorialized for future generations.
Learn About Right-to-Farm Laws
Learn how the right-to-farm law works in your state. Examine legal terms like "operations" to understand how the largest players, like processors and manufacturers, often benefit the most.
