Last Chance to Improve the Food and Farm Bill!
Congress decides every five years how our food will be produced when they vote on the Food and Farm Bill.
We all want healthful, tasty food, but the Food and Farm Bill should also support modern farming practices that do not harm the foundations of our food supply. Government policy needs to address issues like healthy soil, fresh water, and the effects of some farm practices on our health, like adding antibiotics to the feed of animals that are not sick leading to antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
The House and Senate are working right now to resolve the differences between the two versions of this bill they passed last year.
This is your chance to demand federal agricultural programs that are better for you and the planet. Sign the letter to your legislators today!
Dear Congress:
I am writing to ask you to promote healthful food and a healthy environment in the Food and Farm Bill. Negotiations are now underway to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of this bill, and your input can have a profound influence on this process.
It is critical that you urge your colleagues who are negotiating the final version of the Food and Farm Bill to protect three key provisions that are vital to support modern farming practices that protect our health and the environment. These provisions include:
* assistance to farmers who convert to organic production as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program;
* full funding for the Conservation Security Program to reduce environmentally harmful effects of certain agricultural practices; and
* government funding on raising animals with less antibiotic feed additives.
Thank you for working on behalf of my family and future generations to promote agricultural practices that protect our health and the environment.
