Release: NSAC Publishes <\/strong>Unsustainable: State of the Farm Safety Net <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Report Highlights Which States Benefit Most \u2013 and Least \u2013 from Farm Subsidies <\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Washington, DC, February 20, 2024 \u2013 Today, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) released a new report titled Unsustainable: State of the Farm Safety Net<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>which features a comprehensive analysis of the accessibility and concentration of public dollars distributed through crop insurance premium subsidies, commodity programs, and ad-hoc disaster assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe farm safety net is a cornerstone of agriculture policy and is a fault line in ongoing farm bill negotiations,\u201d<\/em> said report author Billy Hackett, NSAC Policy Specialist<\/strong>. \u201cDespite record investment and small yet notable improvements in recent years, most small to mid-sized diversified farmers are still unable to access relief when disasters strike.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The report finds that more than $142 billion was distributed through farm safety net programs from 2017-2022: $46 billion to crop insurance premium subsidies, $29 billion to commodity programs, and $67 billion to ad-hoc disaster assistance. The concentration of benefits across programs primarily in the Midwest and Great Plains appears to correlate more closely to the number of acres planted to covered commodities than to the number of farms in a state or its value of production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur new report outlines a path to strengthen and expand access to these critical programs for all farmers while saving costs long-term,\u201d <\/em>continued Hackett<\/strong>. \u201cThese goals are not at-odds with one another, but may be achieved through a recalibration toward holistic risk management that includes both a precise safety net and investments to help farmers adopt on-farm practices to build resilience against disasters.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the report recommends lawmakers adopt common-sense policy reforms to build a sustainable farm safety net that is fair, functional, and informed. As Congress proceeds toward a farm bill reauthorization in 2024, these recommendations help chart a path toward a strong, bipartisan bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSAC will host a virtual briefing on Thursday, February 22, at 11:00 am EST <\/strong>to share key takeaways from the report and meet two farmers it featured: Angela Smith and Betty Chenier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
