NOFA's 2023 Farm Bill Principles Platform
The NOFA state chapters have developed six Farm Bill principles advocating for a Farm Bill that:
-
Invests in and protects the integrity of organic and agroecological practices as a core solution to our climate and biological crises.
-
Ensures fair treatment and just livelihoods for farmers and workers throughout the food and farming system.
-
Invests in rural communities, increases fairness and resilience of local and regional supply chains and breaks up consolidation in agriculture.
-
Centers racial justice across all programs and repairs past and ongoing racialized harm.
-
Promotes food sovereignty for disadvantaged communities and ensures nutrition security for all.
-
Eliminates the use of toxic substances on farmland and in our food system while supporting a just transition for farmers.
