Farm Bill Presents Missed Opportunity to Reduce Hunger in the United States and Around the World - Alliance to End Hunger WASHINGTON (March 5, 2026) The Alliance to End Hunger is disappointed that food and nutrition security were not prioritized in the markup of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 202...

While providing limited benefits that our members support, the legislation overall erodes the historic relationship of agriculture and nutrition in the Farm Bill.

You can read our full statement here: alliancetoendhunger.org/farm-bill-pr...

🌍 Globally, the legislation fails to meet the opportunity to enable global food security programs to operate in the most efficient and effective way possible – restricting Food for Peace nonemergency programming and failing to build on and strengthen emergency response programs.

🍎 Domestically, the bill does nothing to alleviate the harms done to nutrition programs through last year's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," specifically the massive cuts to and restructuring of SNAP.

Our Statement on the House Markup of the Farm Bill:

"While offering limited positive policies, the bill fails to rectify damage caused by last year’s massive tax and spending bill, and does not advance the U.S. as a global leader in food security and agricultural development."

Malnutrition Deaths Soaring in the US?? Not quite, but while the recent a huge increase is largely due to to better identification & recording, there is also a worrying increase in hunger among older adults that cannot be ignored. Thought provoking, informative, and a great read! wapo.st/49k8wCG
