Farm Bill

The Farm Bill is a comprehensive piece of legislation in the United States that governs agricultural policy. It is passed approximately every five years and covers a wide range of topics, including farm subsidies, food assistance programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), crop insurance, and rural development. The bill supports farmers, helps stabilize food prices, and ensures food security for low-income families. Ultimately, it shapes agricultural practices and policies, influencing both the economy and the environment. Its provisions aim to support the farming industry while addressing food access and nutrition issues.
