What is the Farm Bill, and why is it important?
If you eat U.S. grown food, have ever received food assistance (like SNAP or school meals), work in occupations involving food, or care about clean air and water, you will not want to miss this discussion with faculty experts from the Center for Policy Research who will answer questions about the potential implications of the Farm Bill on Americans’ everyday lives.
On the surface, the U.S. Farm Bill might not sound very exciting to the typical person. Yet the 2024 Farm Bill will direct over $1 trillion in federal government spending over the next 5 years. It is at the foundation of our food assistance, food supply, and farming systems. It has significant influence on farming livelihoods and rural development, as well as factors that affect our everyday lives, including what kinds of foods are grown and how they are grown, food prices and healthy food access, funding for food assistance programs, our climate, and much more.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
