Demanding a Strong 2024 Farm Bill
Since the 2018 Farm Bill was passed, a lot has changed across our nation. Against the backdrop of an increasingly disruptive and changing climate, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the illness and death of thousands of food workers. There have also been historic agricultural investments from the Inflation Reduction Act, along with a long-overdue racial justice reckoning. These events have unveiled and attempted to repair the fragility of our farm and food system—impacting everything from the food and nutrition security of millions to the livelihoods of farmers, ranchers, food and farm workers, and countless others.
The next farm bill should address the needs of modern food and farm systems by reflecting these changes in society and across our food, farm, and rural and urban communities. Last week, 1,096 national, state, and local organizations enthusiastically called for a farm bill that builds toward a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable food and farm system. We want you to be a part of this by sending a message of support to your member of Congress.
We believe that the 118th Congress could complete a new farm bill this year—but expediency must not come at the expense of policies that address hunger, public health, farmers, workers, and the environment.
Please join us in sending a message to your member of Congress to deliver a 2024 Farm Bill that builds toward a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable food and farm system.
