The Farm Bill has an enormous potential to improve the sustainability of our food system by supporting and funding major initiatives that mitigate agriculture's impact on climate change. After a long and drawn out process, the legislation was finally reauthorized in December 2018. Alyssa Charney, Senior Policy Specialist at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, joins host Jenna Liut to provide an update on the finalized conservation programs that were approved and the impact they can make.
