A great opportunity to invest in healthy food, a clean environment, and the future of small to mid-sized farms is drawing closer. As it does every few years, Congress will soon renew the “farm bill,” authorizing billions of dollars in agriculture-related programs. Decisions on how these billions are spent will largely determine the future of our food system.

At present, most farm bill dollars go to relatively few large-scale, industrial-style operations that can pose serious risks to human health and the environment. Meanwhile, money is scarce for farmers and ranchers who practice more sustainable agriculture methods that reduce the negative external effects of farming. Passage of the farm bill represents an opportunity to turn away from outmoded programs and start investing in the agriculture of the 21st century. 

Write to your members of Congress today and demand that farm bill funding be redirected to a new generation of innovative farmers who sutainably raise high-quality food products while caring for our health and environment.
