Food & Water Watch is a mid-sized nonprofit organization focused on public policy related to food, water, and climate issues. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, it mobilizes regular people to build political power to advance solutions to these pressing challenges. The organization seeks to protect health, communities, and democracy from what it views as the growing influence of powerful economic interests, operating across local, state, and federal levels. Its work centers on advocacy and policy development aimed at concrete improvements in food and water systems and climate resilience. In December 2025, Food & Water Watch launched the Iowa Blueprint for Clean Water, introducing 20 policy proposals to address widespread toxic nitrate contamination in drinking water linked to industrial agriculture. The group pursues initiatives and campaigns at multiple government levels to influence environmental and public health policy.
