What better way to celebrate Earth Day than by supporting farmers invest in soil health and clean water. Ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the #AgResilienceAct! The reality is that not only are farmers on the front lines of volatile weather events, they are also among the most significant stewards of our nation’s water, soil, and air quality. To ensure our ability to grow food into the future, we need to resource farmers with the knowledge and support they need to weather any storm. That’s why we support the introduction of the Agriculture Resilience Act (ARA) – a farmer-centered bill that incentivizes and supports the work family farmers are doing to build soil health, improve water quality, build robust and resilient businesses, and feed our communities. This bill offers straightforward, incentive-based strategies for giving farmers the freedom to voluntarily improve the long-term health and resilience of their farms while supporting farmer livelihoods, and with enough support, it can become part of the farm bill. As lawmakers prepare to write the next farm bill, we need to make sure they are listening to farmers and advocating for their needs.
