Friends, This year, I will be working with my colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee to write and pass Congress' next Farm Bill—and because agriculture is the Central Coast’s number one industry, I know every family in our communities will be impacted by the policies we craft. But I can't do it without your help! Read on to learn more about the Farm Bill and to submit your thoughts on what should get included in this year's legislation to support our farms and farmers, our local research universities, our families who rely on federal nutrition programs, and more.

Friends,


This year, I will be working with my colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee to write and pass Congress' next Farm Bill—and because agriculture is the Central Coast’s number one industry, I know every family in our communities will be impacted by the policies we craft.


But I can't do it without your help!


Read on to learn more about the Farm Bill and to submit your thoughts on what should get included in this year's legislation to support our farms and farmers, our local research universities, our families who rely on federal nutrition programs, and more.

 
 

WHAT IS THE FARM BILL?
 
 

The Farm Bill is a legislative package passed roughly every five years that impacts food production, resources for rural communities, food security programs, and farmers’ livelihoods.


The Farm Bill covers issues ranging from sustainable farming practices to crop insurance to guide our food and agriculture systems – and each section of the Farm Bill has broad economic benefits for California’s Central Coast.
 
 
 

MY 2023 FARM BILL GOALS
 
 

As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I will be working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to develop this vital piece of legislation. The Farm Bill impacts every American, making it one of the most important pieces of legislation that Congress crafts. 


I believe that the 2023 Farm Bill represents a significant opportunity for Congress to address issues like:

  • Defending the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Expanding Support for Specialty Crops
  • Supporting Agriculture Research 
  • Promoting Conservation Programs and Climate Investments
  • Bringing the Cannabis Sector Out of the Shadows
 
 

Of the issues below, what do you consider to be your top priority that you want to see addressed in the Farm Bill?

  
 
 
Addressing climate change through agriculture.
 
 
 
Expanding access to healthy food for all.
 
 
 
Fighting food insecurity.
 
 
 
Supporting local producers and food infrastructure.
 
 
 
Promoting conservation programs.
 
 
 
Supporting further research on agriculture.
 
 
 
Developing advanced agricultural technology.

Congressman Salud Carbajal
