Take Action: Urge Congress to Support a Just Farm Bill

“The rich and the poor have equal dignity, and their rights must be guaranteed.”
(Pope Francis, Laudato Si’- on Care for our Common Home, paragraph 94)

A strong and resilient farm and food system benefits our local and global communities including family farmers, ranchers, and consumers. nearly $1 trillion in spending. It is divided into sections (titles) that cover specific program areas including Nutrition, Commodities, Conservation, Trade and more. The Nutrition title comprises 76% of the Farm Bill’s total spending.

Recognizing the inherent worth of all our brothers and sisters, as Midwestern Franciscan Justice Promoters, we are compelled to insist that Congress reauthorize a just Farm Bill in 2023 that supports the dignity of all people, especially those in poverty, and offers safeguards for preserving creation.
