Through Akayla Farms, I have become aware of the NAIS program, which, frankly, scares the living daylights out of me because it will make it exceedingly difficult for traditional family farms to farm as they always have.  I think this is a huge step backwards for all of us and will negatively impact the health of our planet, our communities and our bodies. I'm not yet as well versed as I would like to be, but will do my part to spread awareness.  Here is a definition from  a site called Stop Animal ID, and I've included a link to their site, as well as the rest of this post.  Please join us in fighting to keep traditional farms alive, and create an environment for more of them to flourish. - xo - a

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a national program to identify and track livestock animals, including poultry, horses, cattle, goats and sheep for the purpose of disease containment. NAIS plans to use RFID and GPS technology to track animals, and requires every farm or “premises” be registered with government agencies, even if that premises houses a single animal. While NAIS’s purported goal of disease containment appears to be beneficial, the requirement for American citizens to register privately-owned property for tracking and monitoring purposes has very serious implications for our privacy, rights and freedoms.
