National Young Farmers Coalition

The National Young Farmers Coalition is actively engaged in supporting small-scale producers in the agricultural sector. One of its key initiatives is the proposed creation of an Office of Small Farms, which is seen as a significant step forward for the community of small-scale producers.

Michelle A.T. Hughes, the executive director of the coalition, has voiced her support for this initiative, highlighting its potential to bring about progress in the sector. However, she has also expressed concerns regarding the ongoing reduction in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is set to decrease by $187 billion. This reduction is viewed as a challenge that needs addressing, despite the positive steps being made elsewhere.
