Priorities for State Departments of Agriculture
The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture will direct its policy advocacy efforts regarding the bill toward 10 specific policy areas: agriculture research, animal disease, conservation and climate resiliency, cyber security, food safety, hemp, invasive species, local food systems, specialty crop block grant and trade promotion.
Agricultural producers, the rural economy and communities of every size rely upon a forward-looking and fully funded farm bill. The farm bill must provide farmers and ranchers with a reliable safety net. The farm bill must provide consumers access to the safest and most affordable food supply. The next farm bill must remain unified – securing a commitment to American agriculture and the critical food and nutritional assistance programs for those who need it most. The farm bill is an issue of national security.
NASDA members are advocating for Congress to pass an updated, unified farm bill. Click each image below to learn from NASDA members how the farm bill impacts all Americans.
