Farm Bills to Watch - AzFBN 2023
On Reformation Sunday, we will be hosting a round of letter-writing in support of policy initiatives for the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill. Every five years, the farm bill expires and then goes through a lengthy process where it is proposed, debated, and passed by Congress and is then signed into law by the president. It has a huge impact on farming livelihoods, how food is grown, and what kinds of foods are grown. Here are a few of the farm bills to watch:
Improving Access to Nutrition Act (H.R. 1510, S. 2435)
Enhance Access to Snap Act (H.R. 3183/S. 1488)
Closing the Meal Gap Act (H.R. 3037/S. 1336)
The Hot Foods Act (H.R. 3519/S. 2258)
Lift the Bar Act (H.R. 4170/S. 2038)
Restore Act (H.R. 3479/S. 1753)
