AFBF shares farm based health recommendations with MAHA Commission
The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has submitted a series of recommendations to the Make America Health Again (MAHA) Commission, focusing on improving health outcomes through strong agricultural policies. These recommendations aim to ensure farmers can continue producing safe, nutritious, and affordable food.
“Farmers and ranchers share the goal of advancing health in America,” said Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall. “Healthy meals start with healthy farms, which is a responsibility farmers take seriously. Investing in research, rewarding innovation and alleviating overregulation helps them reach that goal. We appreciate the opportunity to share these policy recommendations that can directly and positively improve farmers’ ability to meet the needs of a healthy America.”
The organization’s proposals focus on four key areas.
AFBF is also part of the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance, which submitted its own report focused on healthy soil, clean air, and water.
These combined efforts aim to create a more sustainable, innovative, and health-conscious farming future for America.
