Every five years, the Farm Bill – a massive piece of legislation which addresses farms, food, and foreign aid – is up for reauthorization. The amount of good this money does is almost immeasurable, and as our office has a special focus on rural life, poverty, and global solidarity, we are especially interested in what happens with this process, i.e. how much money is allocated and how it will be used.
