Slow Food USA Leader Links No Images? Click here The Passage of the 2018 Farm BillBy Christine Dzujna and Ed YowellAll of our members and partners should be proud of the hard work they put in to help get the Farm Bill passed before the end of the year. While all of SFUSA’s priorities were not satisfied this time around, important progress was made in preserving key programs like SNAP and CSP and funding was increased for many farmer and land conservation supports. Keep an eye our for our upcoming blog in which we will share some additional details on the high points that were achieved and the areas where there is room for improvement going forward. Of course, we will keep up the fight and look forward to continuing to work with all our partners on building a good, clean and fair food chain that is equitable, inclusive and just for all Americans!
