CSPI supports Sen. Stabenow’s proposed Farm Bill

Senator Stabenow's proposed Farm Bill protects and expands access to SNAP benefits, increases purchasing power for fruits and vegetables, and improves the healthfulness of the retail food environment.

Taking food away from families by cutting SNAP, as House and Senate Republicans proposed to do in their draft bills, is never the right answer. Nor should we break climate-smart programs or attack the Dietary Guidelines for Americans or school meals, as the GOP has also proposed.

Senator Stabenow's bill should be included in a final bipartisan package that benefits farmers and consumers, and advances food and nutrition security for everyone in the U.S.
