Over the past year, a diverse group of family farm, rural, public health, anti-hunger, conservation, faith-based, and other groups have come together to inform the 2007 Farm Bill. The cross-sector approach of the Farm and Food Policy Project (FFPP) reflects a commitment to advocate for policies that address the full spectrum of public needs addressed by this critical piece of legislation. This broad and growing alliance believes that by working together, it can make real progress toward supporting family farms and local communities, improving health and nutrition, ending hunger, and increasing biodiversity and improving the quality of our soil, water and air.
