The Farm Bill has widespread bipartisan support from the U.S. Congress. The course looks at each component of the most recent Farm Bill: Crop insurance, commodities, forestry, rural development, food aid, trade, nutrition including school nutrition, SNAP and WIC, research, extension, and education, and other components. Each week will include a look at one component and students will choose a component to write short essays and oral presentations looking at the history, authorization and appropriation language, and how it is implemented by USDA. Each class will include a short remote presentation by a CFANS faculty member discussing how their research fits within that week?s component. Students will meet with the instructor individually to discuss their essays and presentations.
