A bill advancing in the U.S. House would create a taskforce designed to shore up the food supply chain.
Co-author Angie Craig tells Brownfield the Strengthening the Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Act is in response to high prices.
“It’s a bipartisan bill that would create a dedicated taskforce designed to really study this issue (of) the American food supply chain, and hopefully can increase some government coordination and design a plan to prevent this from happening again.”
The Minnesota Democrat joined South Dakota Republican Dusty Johnson in introducing the legislation that stipulates the task force must submit a comprehensive report no later than nine months after enactment of the bill.
