Why we need a climate-friendly Farm Bill

Congress has until the end of September to reauthorize the Farm Bill, which invests hundreds of billions in agriculture and food programs over five years and typically passes with bipartisan support. We can introduce and expand climate policy through conservation, forestry, and water provisions in the Farm Bill, but also must fight off attempts to cut these investments.

For more information on how the Farm Bill affects regular people’s daily lives and what is at risk of cuts, read our blog post here and watch our video below. Then call your member of Congress in support of a strong, climate-friendly Farm Bill. First, check out our latest polling to hear what others know about the Farm Bill:
