Agri-Pulse Food & Ag Policy Summit 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic upended the farm to fork supply chain in numerous, unprecedented ways; causing tremendous price volatility and disruptions in food production, processing and distribution. But throughout this economic rollercoaster, the federal government offered a lifeline: A mix of billions in federal payments, food purchases and donations kept the majority of U.S. farmers and ranchers in business. Now what?

With land prices skyrocketing and commodity prices once again on the upswing, policymakers will start drafting a new farm bill for 2023, armed with lessons learned from COVID-19 and eager to embrace future challenges like climate change, risk management and food security for those most in need. At the same time, members of Congress will have their eyes on mid-term elections in 2022, where control of the House and Senate will be in play.

Agri-Pulse will explore the policies and politics under consideration with leading experts, members of Congress and administration officials on March 21, 2022. Save the date and plan to join us in person at the National Press Club or virtually for a full day of programming during the 2022 Agri-Pulse Food & Ag Policy Summit. The event will be followed by an Agri-Pulse Customer Appreciation reception.

Agri-Pulse is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, and the event will follow all District directives and health measures. At this time, the Club is requiring proof of vaccination to attend. Stay up to date on the COVID-19 guidelines for the National Press Club.
