Budget Reconciliation and Agriculture – Farm Politics
Budget Reconciliation and Agriculture and More from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)
Budget Reconciliation and Agriculture: The Missing Pieces
A lot has changed since we last blogged about budget reconciliation and agriculture and climate change just two weeks ago. At that point, there were still major outstanding details about the proposed agriculture, forestry, and rural development investments the House and Senate Agriculture Committees had put together. In this latest post, NSAC analyzes the conservation and debt relief provisions and gives an update on the process and path forward to developing and passing the Build Back Better Act budget reconciliation bill.
We discuss why it is critical that, as Congress moves forward with plans to pass the Build Back Better Act, food and agriculture investments be spared from any additional reductions. Protecting critical food and agriculture investments in the reconciliation bill will support our nation’s sustainable farmers and ranchers in tackling our nation’s response to the climate crisis.
