    2023/07/19

    What's the top issue for young farmers? Land. Land access. Capital. Debt. Competing with developers for land. Competing with venture capital for land. Hear from Alita Kelly, Land Organizing Director at the National Young Farmers Coalition, on the problem of land access and some of the policy solutions NYFC is advocating for in the 2023 Farm Bill.

  • A Comprehensive Climate and Agriculture Bill
    2023/07/12

    This episode covers the Agriculture Resilience Act (ARA), the sustainable agriculture community's flagship bill for the 2023 Farm Bill. The ARA focuses on building a diverse and resilient system that reduces the negative repercussions of climate change and that curtails agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Our guest today is Cathy Day, Climate Policy Coordinator at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.

    NSAC's Farmer Letter in Support of the ARA sums up the reasons why the signatories support the bill:

    1. Farmers need quality agricultural research on climate issues. The ARA includes funding for climate and agriculture research, including critical on-farm research and farmer technical assistance through the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program and the regional Climate Hubs.

    2. Farmers need crop insurance options that support resilience and adaptation. To that end, the ARA requires the Risk Management Agency to recognize all Natural Resources Conservation Service practices as good farming practices.

    3. Beginning farmers and farmers of color need financial support for their expert work on building climate-friendly systems. The ARA offers expanded assistance to farmers of color and beginning farmers.

    4. Farmers need investments in climate-friendly systems like advanced grazing management, agroforestry, organic agriculture, improved manure management, soil health, composting, user-friendly on-farm renewable energy, and other practices that sequester carbon. The ARA invests in these ecologically beneficial systems across a range of programs.

  • What is the Farm Bill?
    2023/07/05

    What is the Farm Bill? I sat down with Margaret Krome, Policy Director at the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and Farm Bill expert, to get the basics of why the Farm Bill matters, what it is, how it's made, and what we can do to influence it, all the while avoiding or explaining the jargon that can be confusing and intimidating.
