The 2018 Farm Bill passed by Congress on Wednesday is largely status quo from the 2014 version and will continue to drive overproduction and low farm income while ignoring the stark realities of climate change. The much needed and popular conservation programs that support farmers in responding to climate change continue to be underfunded. By sidestepping the issues of economic and climate resilience, Congress is ignoring the transformative changes needed in agriculture.
