Farm Bill 2023: Protect the dignity, health, and safety of those responsible for working the land

Friend, [sign the petition to Congress: Help end hunger & expand food access.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Far too many people experience hunger in our wealthy nation—including [12 million]( children who are food insecure. Climate change threatens to increase these numbers. As global temperatures and extreme weather events rise, the conditions make it more difficult for farmers to grow food and for those facing hunger to get it. Our current agricultural system contributes to these joint crises—prioritizing corporations’ profits over people and our planet. The 2023 Farm Bill is a critical opportunity to improve food security and nutrition for people across the U.S. and promote climate resilience. As Congress begins working on this important legislation, we must urge them to prioritize the needs of our communities and the climate, not corporate profit margins. [Sign the petition to Congress: Address hunger, food access, and climate resilience in the 2023 Farm Bill.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Congress must take this opportunity to: expand access to SNAP and other nutrition assistance programs; fund small-scale farmers, regenerative agriculture, and climate-friendly practices, from planting to packaging to delivery; eliminate food waste and invest in urban agricultural projects that allow all people access to locally-grown, sustainable fresh food; and, protect the dignity, health, and safety of those responsible for working the land. This is our chance to improve this crucial legislation. It’s time for Congress to invest in long-term solutions that address hunger, food access, and climate resilience.
