We Deserve a Better Farm Bill
Contact your lawmakers today!
For nearly two years, we’ve been advocating for a farm bill that invests in healthy rural and urban communities, builds a climate-resilient future, levels the playing field for small and mid-sized farms, and advances racial equity across the food system.
The House Agriculture Committee and will vote on its version of the 2024 Farm Bill tomorrow. Unfortunately, this bill leaves behind farmers and communities. It simply falls short of what we need.
The proposed House farm bill:
- Fails to fix the flawed farm safety net or fully support diversified, beginning, and smaller-scale farmers.
- Encourages consolidation in the industry rather than diversity and fair competition for family farms.
- Takes a massive step backwards by making it harder for farmers to adopt climate-friendly growing practices.
- Effectively cuts Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding, further burdening the millions of families struggling with hunger.
Now is the time to demand better for our farmers and communities. Take a moment TODAY to call your lawmakers and tell them why they must vote “no” on the House farm bill. The more lawmakers who publicly oppose this harmful bill, the easier it will be to clear a path for a better bill that actually serves all farmers and communities.
