Agriculture and Food Policy

Agriculture and Food Policy involves the rules and decisions that guide how food is produced, distributed, and made affordable. It covers farming practices, food safety, conservation of natural resources, and assistance programs for farmers and consumers. These policies aim to ensure a stable food supply, protect the environment, support farmers' livelihoods, and promote healthy eating. They are shaped by government agencies, laws, and international agreements to balance economic growth, public health, and sustainability, ultimately influencing what we eat, how it's grown, and its environmental impact.
