The Farm Bill is a critical piece of legislation impacting what gets grown in the U.S. and how. With the Farm Bill, Congress has an unprecedented opportunity to support the transition to regenerative agriculture, a method that small businesses, ranchers and farmers are hailing as a win for all as it is good for the environment, lowers costs to producers, improves the quality of foods grown, as well as safeguards the health of workers and consumers from toxic chemicals.
Here’s why regenerative agriculture is a win-win:
-
Resilient Farms: It builds healthier soil, increasing yields and lowering costs in the long run, making farms more resilient to extreme weather.
-
Happy Consumers: People are willing to pay more for healthier foods produced sustainably! Businesses can meet this demand by supporting regenerative practices.
-
Healthier Planet: Regenerative agriculture helps fight climate change and protects our precious natural resources and sensitive ecosystems for all to enjoy.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provided a historic investment in climate-smart agriculture, but protecting the “climate guardrails” is essential to make it work!
Join us and ASBN in urging Congress to pass a Farm Bill that prioritizes regenerative agriculture and safeguards the IRA funding.
