ICARE is a pro-agriculture organization that promotes safe, healthy, affordable food, local control, and the economic viability and sustainability of our rural communities and farms.
We support long-term land stewardship, transparency and accountability in land-use, the development of strong local and regional foodsheds, and efforts to ensure the long-term productivity of Idaho’s prime agricultural soils and natural resources.
ICARE's goals are guided by simple, common-sense principles. We want to make sure that:
1) Food-production practices funded by American taxpayers are socially responsible and sustainable.
2) Every American has access to safe, nutritious food
3) All farmers receive a living wage.
4) Food and farm policy prioritizes agricultural production for domestic consumption and food self-sufficiency
5) Food imports do not displace local production or depress prices.
