History

Historical Context

June 18 2008, Congress enacted the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act, a $288 billion farm bill that introduced the voluntary Conservation Stewardship Program and raised conservation funding by more than 17 percent, adding $4 billion over baseline. In June 2024, President Donald Trump issued an order directing the EPA and USDA to apply similar large-scale conservation practices. The bill’s precedent shows federal funding can shape U.S. agriculture and climate policy.
