Establishes a new USDA office to help farm and food workers access programs and have their voices heard.
The Supporting Our Farm and Food System Workforce Act would create a new office within the Department of Agriculture. This office would help farm and food system workers better understand and access government programs. It would also ensure their needs are met and their voices are heard through advisory committees and interagency coordination.
Today, support for farm and food system workers within the federal government is less coordinated and may be harder for workers to access. After this bill, a dedicated Office of the Farm and Food System Workforce would exist within the USDA. This office, along with an advisory committee of workers and an interagency council, would specifically address their needs, improve program access, and ensure their perspectives are integrated into federal policies.
