Core offering

Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) is a nonprofit organization that delivers free, direct assistance to U.S. communities threatened by industrial livestock operations. Its core offerings include community organizing support, technical expertise, GIS mapping tools, water quality monitoring training, contract grower transition assistance, and policy/legal advocacy for a regenerative food system.

Product overview

Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) offers a unified set of advocacy and support programs rather than a technology product platform. The core offerings include: Community Support Program providing direct technical assistance to communities; Water Rangers Program for water monitoring and testing; Contract Grower Transition Program helping farmers exit industrial agriculture; Food & Farm Network for advocacy and coalition building; and a GIS Portal providing interactive mapping tools. These programs are complemented by educational resources including webinars, state-specific CAFO guides, a Contract Grower Resource Guide, and the multimedia project 'UNLIVABLE: The Price of Factory Farming'. SRAP also operates a Help Hotline for immediate community assistance. All services are provided free of charge to communities impacted by industrial livestock operations.
