Virtual (See event details)

How often do you think about the Farm Bill? If you’re like the typical person, probably not very often.

On the surface, the U.S. Farm Bill might not sound very exciting to the typical person. Yet, the Farm Bill, which is slated to direct over $1 trillion in federal government spending over the next 5 years, is at the very foundation of our food and farming systems.

It has significant influence on farming livelihoods and rural development, as well as factors that affect our everyday lives, including what kinds of foods are grown and how they are grown, food prices and healthy food access, funding for food assistance programs, our climate, and much more.

If you eat U.S. grown food, work in occupations involving food, or care about clean air and water, you will not want to miss this discussion with our multidisciplinary group of experts who will answer questions about the potential implications of the 2024 Farm Bill on Americans’ everyday lives.
