The U.S. House Agriculture Committee, led by Republicans, advanced a $1.5 trillion farm spending bill with minimal support from Democrats, causing a standoff over crucial nutrition, agriculture, and climate policies. The bill, passed 33-21 with only 4 Democratic votes, includes expanded farm supports, reduced SNAP funding, and reallocates funds from the Inflation Reduction Act for climate-friendly farming practices. With slim chances of becoming law without bipartisan backing, further delay in passing a new farm bill could bring uncertainty for farmers and food aid recipients.
