Agribusiness Accountability Project
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Public interest organization founded in 1970 and based in Washington, D.C. Initially concerned with migrant and seasonal farm workers, focus soon turned to additional issues such as corporate power in agriculture, land grant college system, cooperatives, rural social movements and tax loss farming. The AAP was the joint endeavor of three Washington public interest groups: the Project on Corporate Responsibility, the Center for Community Change, and the Washington Research Project. It was funded by the Field Foundation and staffed by Jerry J. Berman, Jim Hightower, Nancy Mills, and Philip Sorensen. The culmination of this endeavor resulted in two books: Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times and Eat Your Heart Out, both authored by Jim Hightower.
