Center for Food Safety is a national nonprofit membership organization founded in 1997 that aims to protect human health and the environment by limiting the use of harmful food production technologies and by promoting organic and other forms of sustainable agriculture. It operates as an advocacy-focused entity with offices in Washington, DC; San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; and Honolulu, HI. Based in the District of Columbia, the organization serves the environmental services sector by pursuing policy and regulatory approaches to its mission. Its audience includes policymakers, scientists, and members of the public who are concerned with food safety and environmental stewardship. The Center employs legal action as a tool to enforce environmental protections and advance sustainable farming standards. In 2026, it undertook notable actions such as filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over alleged delays in protecting an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act.
