Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ

The Food Law Center at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ supports the transition to a just and sustainable food system, by providing legal services and advocacy, scholarship, and student education. Through our Food and Farm Business Law Clinic, we address the unmet legal needs of farmers, food and beverage entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations to strengthen food sovereignty in disadvantaged communities, foster the growth of alternative models of food production and distribution, and promote the emergence of a more sustainable climate-friendly food system.

What We Do

We provide direct transactional legal services to farmers and food businesses, offer focused legal training, and advocate for systemic policy changes at the local, state, regional, and federal levels.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law is home to the largest food law faculty in the country. Through faculty and student scholarship in food law, we seek to advance understanding of the role of law in shaping the food system.

Our students learn and practice food law through client pro bono work in our Food and Farm Business Law Clinic, in addition to food law coursework, independent research projects, and externships.
