The 2012 National Food Policy Scorecard provides objective, factual information about the most important food legislation considered and the corresponding voting records of all members of the 112th Congress. This Scorecard represents the consensus of food policy experts who selected the key votes on which members of Congress should be scored. Food Policy Scorecard scores votes on the most important issues of the year, including domestic and international hunger, food safety, food access, farm subsidies, animal welfare, food and farm labor, nutrition, food additives, food transparency, local food, organic food and the impacts of food production on the environment. The votes included in this Scorecard help distinguish which legislators are working for sensible food policies.
