Every five years Congress reauthorizes the Farm Bill— the signature federal legislation with jurisdiction over the nation’s farm and feeding programs. Although not slated to be voted on until 2023, work on the next Farm Bill is beginning now. And with that, the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance (SCFBA) will reconvene its work. The Alliance, formally established in 2006, is comprised of more than 120 specialty crop organizations with a shared goal of enhancing the competitiveness of specialty cropsand improving the health of Americans by broadening the scope of U.S. agricultural public policy. The newly-formed International Fresh Produce Association (comprised of the former United Fresh Produce Association and the Produce Marketing Association) serves as the Secretariat, with the American Mushroom Institute serving as an executive steering committee member.
