Funding Opportunities and Other Good News from the 2008 Farm Bill
Post Date: Thursday, September 18th, 2008After many months of grueling deliberation and a veto override, the 2008 Farm Bill has become law, and with some good news for small-scale, minority and alternative farmers. For many years, the Farm Bill has largely dedicated the majority of the USDA’s resources to providing subsidies and other support to large-scale commodity agriculture. While there is still plenty of this in the 2008 version, thanks to the hard work of local and national advocacy organizations throughout the country, there are a number of programs and policies in the new bill that benefit small-scale/alternative agriculture and underserved communities. Please see the attached document for more information. Good News for Local Foods in the Farm Bill.
