The farm bill is an omnibus bill (i.e. a package of legislation combined into one bill) passed roughly once every five years. This bill includes the bulk of the federal legislation that relates to agriculture, food, and the food system. As such, it has a massive impact on how food is grown, sold, distributed, and bought in this country.
The previous farm bill expired in September 2023, and a new farm bill is developing. Learn more about NOFAs platform for the upcoming bill and how you can get involved by visiting our Farm Bill webpage.
