Demand Strong Farm & Food Policy

DISTRIBUTED BY THE NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE COALITION (NSAC) ON AUG 27, 2025

Reaching out with an invitation to join us in sending a letter to Congressional leaders demanding stronger farm and food policy. See details below, and please share this invitation with other aligned networks and/or organizations.

Did you know that we are close to three years overdue on the federal legislation that shapes our nation’s food & farm policy – a farm bill? Congress has failed to advance a fair, resilient, and equitable farm bill, putting at risk the vital programs and resources on which our nation’s farmers and families rely. Even worse, the recently-passed ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ (OBB) ripped apart programs typically held in the farm bill and made the largest-ever cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which will result in more hungry families and children and fewer market opportunities for farmers.  

When Congress comes back to Washington, DC this month, they are considering moving forward on a new farm bill – which means NOW is the time to make it clear that the only acceptable farm bill is one that actually invests in a sustainable future and fixes the damage done by OBBB -- Nothing less will do.

Organizations are banding together to deliver a letter to Congress that makes it clear: we are paying attention, and we won’t stand by if lawmakers forgo another opportunity to protect farmers, consumers, and everyone else in between. Congress needs to restore good faith in federal lawmaking by advocating for and safeguarding the essential programs and resources our farmers need to feed us all, especially our most vulnerable neighbors. This is the only way forward – you can read the letter in full here.
