You might have heard that the US Congress just missed a huge opportunity to help poor people around the world. For the first time in five years, they had the chance to rewrite the Farm Bill so that it reduced farm subsidies, the same subsidies that go to mostly large farms here in the US and fuel a cycle of overproduction that hurts family farmers here and abroad. We will build on the progress made and continue to support family farmers around the globe, by advocating for better trade policies, increased market access, and innovative agriculture techniques. Please know that thanks to people like you, farm subsidies were at the center of the Farm Bill debate. With your help, we'll keep building up the pressure to change US farm policy.
