(NAFB.com) – The annual Feeding the Economy Report was released in conjunction with National Agriculture Day on Tuesday, March 18. The report is a farm-to-fork economic impact study that estimates the direct and indirect economic contributions of the food and agriculture industries on jobs, wages, economic output, and business taxes. CropLife America was pleased to work with 36 other food and agriculture groups to sponsor the report. “The Feed the Economy Report spans the entire food chain and is an incredibly useful tool to share the economic contributions of the agricultural industry with lawmakers and American consumers,” says Alexandra Dunn, CLA President and CEO. “We are very proud of the role our members play in supporting a safe, affordable, and healthy food supply for American families and many people around the world.” CLA is a group committed to advocating for science-based policies that enable farmers to continue producing safe, affordable, and sustainable food.
