FACA’s policy recommendations are developed and approved by members of the steering committee.
FACA Issues MAHA Policy Recommendations
In response to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission’s call to improve the well-being of all Americans, our coalition of farmers, ranchers, forest owners, environmental advocates, and industry leaders offers this report as a roadmap to a healthier future—starting from the ground up.
Opportunities in the Upcoming Farm Bill
FACA released a suite of bipartisan policy recommendations for the next farm bill that cover six areas:
- Conservation, Risk Management, and Credit
- Energy
- Food Waste
- Forestry
- Livestock and Dairy
- Research, Extension, and Innovation
USDA pilot program Recommendations
In response to conversations calling for the establishment of a USDA-led carbon bank, FACA developed recommendations supporting the establishment of a series of pilot projects focused on new conservation approaches.
Original Joint Policy Recommendations
The eight founders of FACA released a report in November 2020 that served as a launch pad for the coalition’s policy positions. These recommendations are based on the premise that federal policy can and should provide incentives and support farmers, ranchers, and forest owners as they tackle the challenges created by climate change.
