Farm bill urgent for healthier diets and planet
The Star Tribune argues for a bold farm bill update that expands climate smart and conservation programs, tightens crop insurance rules to encourage diversity, and strengthens antitrust actions to broaden farmers’ share of food dollars. It cites CSP, EQIP, Whole Farm Revenue Protection, and climate funding from the Inflation Reduction Act as model pillars. The piece credits Practical Farmers of Iowa and Minnesota’s Land Stewardship Project for decades of innovation and urges bipartisan focus on sustainable farming, soil and water stewardship, and market fairness.
