Two years after the last farm bill expired, Congress still hasn’t passed a new one. This important piece of legislation has huge repercussions for our food and farming system — it dictates everything from how much support vulnerable communities receive for nutrition assistance to how the government reigns in corporate consolidation to what tools farmers can use to fight climate change.
We’re badly in need of a new farm bill, but we don’t want Congress to settle for one that further entrenches the unequal and unsustainable forces that have shaped our food system. Take action today and tell your representatives we deserve the best farm bill possible.
