Discuss policies affecting farming, food systems, rural development, and agricultural production.
What’s this category for?
Use this category to talk about food and farm policy, rural programs, and laws that impact agriculture and food production.
How is it different?
This category is focused on agriculture and food systems, not environmental or economic policy more broadly.
What should posts include?
Topics could include the Farm Bill, food safety, crop production, rural development, and nutrition programs like SNAP.
Why not merge?
Agriculture and food have wide-reaching effects on health, economy, and environment, and deserve their own space.
Engagement policy:
We welcome all viewpoints, as long as they are respectful. Keep the focus on policy and legislation, especially congressional action. Avoid partisan debates about the presidency.
