IATP envisions agriculture, trade and food systems that are good for people, farmers and food system workers, ecosystems and social justice globally.
What We Do
With our partners, we advocate for policy in the public interest at the state, federal and international level.
We provide first-class, accurate analysis, informed by research, science and lived experience.
Our policy advocacy is shaped in close collaboration with social movements, coalitions and civil society organizations.
IATP works to ensure a strong regulatory framework that protects public health, the environment, workers and farmers.
Our Approach
A Systems Perspective
IATP is built on the power of systems thinking. We organize our work into three core areas that are critical levers for systems change.
Working at All Policy Levels
IATP’s strong and passionate staff share their expertise at all levels, from the Minnesota Legislature to United Nation panels.
Values Rooted in Justice and Fairness
Our research and analysis are guided by values of economic and racial justice, environmental sustainability and resilience, and strong democratic institutions.
We have been transforming food and agriculture systems for 30+ years.
From launching Peace Coffee to engaging at WTO ministerials, we have rich, deep experience in the world of food and agriculture, trade and climate — and at their points of intersection. Read about our history.
