It discusses the need for increased federal investment in sustainable and organic agriculture research in the upcoming farm bill, emphasizing that current funding levels are insufficient given the growth and potential of these sectors. It evaluates the proposals from both the House and Senate, noting that while there are some positive steps, both bills fall short in adequately funding key programs like SARE and OREI, and continue to prioritize monoculture approaches over diversified, resilient farming systems.https://sustainableagriculture.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/seedling-research-no-credit-700x394.png700394
