Rural Independence Initiative

The Rural Indpendence Initiative is a grassroots movement bringing people together.

A Place to come together

What we are taking on 

A handful of corporations control too much of the food system.

How you can be part of it

If you care about fairness, food, and strong communities, you belong here.

Join the movement 

This starts in rural America, but it affects every American who eats.

Reasons why we fight

We believe government should serve the interests of all people. We’re not afraid to take on the undue influence of corporate monopolies on food and agriculture policy.

Campaigns

Restore Fair Markets. End Corporate Control.

A handful of corporations dominate our food system, driving up food prices, squeezing the farmers, and impacting the quality of what we eat.
In every key sector, from meat processing to ultra processed foods on grocery shelves, a small number of corporations now have outsized control over pricing, access, and competition. It affects everyone. Farmers are forced to operate in a system they don’t control. Families pay more at the grocery store. The quality of life in rural communities declines. Food quality and transparency are lost.
