Biden's Pick For Agriculture Secretary Splits Farming Community

Biden’s Pick For Agriculture Secretary Splits Farming Community
How will farming fare during the Biden administration?
That question was front and center during a confirmation hearing in early February by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry for Tom Vilsack, President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s pick for U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary.
The committee backed Vilsack’s nomination by a voice vote and sent the matter to the Senate for a full vote, where he is widely expected to be approved for the post. However, the response in the farming community is decidedly mixed as to what this will mean for the future of U.S. farming.

Governor Northam Announces Grant Funding to Improve Food Access in Underserved Communities


Governor Northam Announces Grant Funding to Improve Food Access in Underserved Communities
Posted by Staff | Dec 21, 2020 | News | |
RICHMOND—Governor Ralph Northam announced that the application period for the inaugural Virginia Food Access Investment Fund (VFAIF) begins today and will remain open through April 30, 2021. VFAIF will provide grants between $5,000 to $50,000 to support business development, construction, rehabilitation, equipment upgrades, or expansion of grocery stores, small food retailers, or innovative food retail projects that increase food access in underserved communities.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem of food insecurity, and historically marginalized groups are bearing a disproportionate burden,” said Governor Northam. “This fund will support our ongoing work to strengthen local food systems by encouraging investment in food deserts and increasing access to affordable, nutritious food where it is needed most, which in turn will help stimulate regional economies and improve the overall health of our communities.”
