On April 30, the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 — the most significant movement on a new Farm Bill since 2018. While the vote is an important milestone, the bill falls short of what organic farmers and businesses need.
❌Flat funding for the National Organic Program, despite the fast pace of growth in the organic marketplace, which reached more than $76.6 billion in sales in 2025, up 6.8 percent from 2024.
❌No relief for rising certification costs, even as costs have risen more than 85% since 2012
❌Flat funding for organic research, which effectively means a cut for organic research support.
❌ Missing tools to help farmers transition to organic and reach growing markets.
The Senate now takes up its version of the Farm Bill. This is a critical moment for our community to engage.
Please take a moment to write to your Senator and urge them to fight for a Farm Bill that supports organic and family-scale farms. → https://secure.everyaction.com/wb-a8pb3jEiwwqDy-QSM9w2
