The
Northeast-Midwest Institute researches federal agriculture
programs and related legislation, analyzes trends, and distributes
information to educate and inform congressional staff, state
legislators, and policymakers. The
Institute tracks farm bill legislation and researches a variety
of agriculture-related issues, including but not limited to
conservation, rural development, and sustainable and value-added
agriculture. Staff concentrate on USDA and related program
funding and the impact of this funding on the Northeast and
Midwest regions. The Institute also focuses on developing
policy initiatives such as voluntary conservation efforts
on private lands, farmland protection, sustainable agriculture,
food access in low income communities, and rural development.
