Farm Bill Chat & Advocacy Resources
We invite you to watch the Farm Bill Chat hosted by the Dartmouth’s Center for Advancing Rural Health Equity (CARHE), NH Hunger Solutions, NOFA-NH, and us here at the Kearsarge Food Hub. Then take action for the Farm Bill we need and we deserve.
During the chat, we discussed the origins of the bill, all the various policies held within this five-year legislation, and how it impacts our communities in two main buckets: organic farming and food assistance programs.
As discussed in the chat, the Farm Bill drafts that are moving through congress falls short in meeting climate change head on, reversing or delaying cuts to food assistance programs, and generally moving our community toward a resilient food system that truly nourishes people and planet.
We also discuss how the Farm Bill is passed, which is a process that is currently underway.
With two proposed drafts by the house and senate agriculture committees in process to be finalized by September, we have the opportunity to advocate for an equitable and actionable bill that meets the needs of our farmers, food systems, and communities today and into the future.
