Food and Agriculture Act

The Food and Agriculture Act is a comprehensive law that guides U.S. policies on farming, food assistance, and rural development. It sets rules and provides funding for programs like SNAP (food stamps), supports farmers through subsidies, and promotes agricultural research and conservation. The act aims to ensure a stable food supply, improve farm income, and support rural communities, balancing needs of consumers, producers, and the environment. It is renewed periodically by Congress to adapt to changing agricultural and food-related challenges.
