Lower Cost and Better Market for American Families: Biden-Harris Administration To Invest More To Vital Issues

President Biden is making good on his promises to create a stronger America and reconstruct the country’s backbone, the middle class.

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provided USDA with more than $1 billion in funding to ensure that underserved producers have access to the resources, tools, programs, and technical assistance they require to succeed.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which will be enacted into law in August 2022, represents that the once opportunity to invest in critical infrastructure, protect communities from forest fire and extreme heat, and propel weather agriculture and renewables efforts across the country.

According to a February 06, 2023 article published by the United States Department of Agriculture, the department is transforming the food system and improving the resilience and security of the food supply chain through more than 60 programs to make today’s markets work better for family farmers and the families they support.

They invested in rural communities that provide our country with food, fuel, and fiber, and as a result, rural Americans are better able to thrive in the communities they love. USDA, in particular, is building on President Biden’s promise to rebuild our country’s physical infrastructure in order to grow the economy for decades, create good-paying jobs, and better position rural America to compete in a global economy.

The Department intends to establish long-term policies, structures, and resources to attract and retain a well-trained and diverse workforce committed to providing all customers with equitable access to programs and funding. This includes identifying opportunities within the Department to ensure that underserved populations have greater access to and participation in USDA programs and services.
