Washington, July 23, 2024 – The Sustainable Food Policy Alliance (SFPA) joined over 500 organizations on letter led by the American Farm Bureau Federation to support the passage of a new, modernized farm bill. The letter states: “Millions of Americans rely daily on the provisions of the farm bill to produce food, fiber and fuel; to feed their families and others around the world; to voluntarily conserve fish and wildlife and their habitat; to provide sustainable solutions for clean air and water; to provide a producer safety net; to facilitate international trade; to create local jobs and robust economies; and to support rural development nationwide.”

The full letter can be read here, and a press release from the American Farm Bureau Federation may be accessed here.
