Support family farmers & ecological farming practicesDear PAOV,
It’s that time again. Thanksgiving, yes. And also Farm Bill time. Every five years, Congress establishes the rules (and funding) that dictate how we grow food in this country. And the process for a 2018 Farm Bill is underway.
While passing a Farm Bill can seem wonky and slow, this critical bundle of policies impacts our daily lives in ways large and small. From food access and nutrition programs, to crop insurance and agricultural research, the Farm Bill determines much about the food we eat and how it’s grown.
With the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition and many other partners, we’re supporting policies for:
- A thriving, diverse next generation of farmers and ranchers
- Healthy communities with strong farm-to-fork connections
- Land stewardship and commitment to conservation across generations
- Shared, resilient seeds that meet farmers' needs
- A fair, effective farm safety net
Together, we have a chance to help shape the future of agriculture in the U.S. It's time to get loud.
Thank you for speaking up!
