United States Farm Bill
Definition
The United States Farm Bill is a comprehensive omnibus legislative package passed by Congress every few years, serving as the primary instrument for federal agricultural, food, nutrition, conservation, and rural development policies.
It funds crop insurance, commodity subsidies, SNAP (food assistance), conservation programs, and more, with the 2026 version titled the Farm, Food, and National Security Act.
Often controversial, it balances support for large agribusinesses with programs for small farmers and food security, amid debates over subsidies, environmental impacts, and budget allocations.
