Mike Conaway: “Most Americans think food just shows up at the grocery store by magic.”

Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.

It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.

The Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP) was the victim of a rushed process that included no engagement with current distributors and nonprofits and resulted in cherry-picked contractors who were not qualified.

We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.
