House Committee on Agriculture

The House Committee on Agriculture is a group within the U.S. House of Representatives that oversees national policies related to farming, forestry, rural development, and food programs. They review and shape laws that affect farmers, agricultural businesses, and rural communities, including issues like crop production, food safety, agricultural research, and nutrition programs such as SNAP. By holding hearings and working with stakeholders, the committee helps ensure that agricultural policies support sustainable farming, economic growth, and food security across the country.
