Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 is a $2 Trillion, wide-ranging response to the ongoing pandemic that was passed and enacted into law in March 2021. The bill contains provisions that provided for additional $1,400 direct payments to individuals, and extensions of enhanced unemployment insurance, SNAP and WIC benefits, and eviction and foreclosure protection for some families. For the farm and food system, ARP also contained provisions to forgive $4 Billion in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmers.gov\/americanrescueplan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FSA held debt for BIPOC farmers and ranchers<\/a>, and roughly $4 Billion to purchase additional commodities for emergency food assistance, strengthen supply chains, support small processors by assisting with overtime costs, and expand online SNAP purchasing technology.

To start, USDA reopened CFAP-2 for new applications for at least 60 days and made $2.5 Million\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsa.usda.gov\/news-room\/news-releases\/2021\/usda-announces-funding-available-to-organizations-to-assist-socially-disadvantaged-farmers-and-ranchers-under-pandemic-assistance-for-producers-initiative?utm_campaign=pandemicassistance&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">available to grassroots organizations<\/a>\u00a0to assist with outreach to social disadvantaged farmers who may not have applied during the previous open period.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14246\" style=\"width: 353px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14246\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/farmers-wearing-masks1-768x432-NSAC.png?resize=353%2C199&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/farmers-wearing-masks1-768x432-NSAC.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/farmers-wearing-masks1-768x432-NSAC.png?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farmers Harvesting Zucchini, photo courtesy of NSAC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With $6 Billion in total funding for PAP programs, USDA began holding listening sessions with producers, grower groups, farm advocates, and conservation groups where they sought input on how the major elements of CFAP-2 (direct payments to farmers and the food box program) could be further improved to reach small-scale, local, organic, and BIPOC producers who have struggled to secure COVID support under the previous Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Another element of the PAP is $500 Million for existing USDA programs including, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/publications\/grassrootsguide\/local-food-systems-rural-development\/specialty-crop-grants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Specialty Crop Block Grant<\/a>, El\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/blog\/closer-look-foto-2018-farmbill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Program<\/a>, El\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/blog\/2018-farm-bill-local-agriculture-market-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Local Agricultural Marketing Program<\/a>, as well as several more. While vital, these additional investments led to an unusual situation where several grant programs with open Requests for Proposals (RFPs) had to be modified very quickly which led to some confusion among the applicants as not all grant funding had the same requirements and cost share obligations. NSAC and many other groups worked with USDA to provide stakeholder input to facilitate a clear and orderly process, but the 2021 grant cycle for several programs is highly irregular and continues to evolve.<\/p>\n<h3>What Comes Next?<\/h3>\n<p>Much of the PAP program is still in development and we will not know its full scope for several more weeks. NSAC has provided several proposals to the Administration to improve upon the framework provided by CFAP-2 including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>expanded opportunity for producers of high value crops and livestock (eg organic or pasture raised) to access the revenue based payment program option<\/li>\n<li>rigorous analysis of FSA conduct in future payment rounds<\/li>\n<li>enhanced outreach and language options for underserved communities, and<\/li>\n<li>additional dedicated funding for BIPOC producers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even as USDA continues work to build out PAP, a great deal of attention amongst policy makers and advocates is turning to the next Reconciliation package. It seems likely that the Administration will continue to work to build support for their America Jobs Act, a $2.25 Trillion infrastructure bill, or a bipartisan compromise package alternative to fund traditional infrastructure investments in roads, dams, bridges, airports, energy grids, as well as telecommunications networks to achieve universal broadband access. If there is no bipartisan consensus proposal that can secure 60 votes in the Senate, it is very likely that the Administration will work with Congressional leaders to pass the majority of the American Jobs Act by Reconciliation \u2013 as they did with the American Rescue Plan last month. It also seems likely that if Congress chooses to move this spending package by Reconciliation, they may consider merging it with the American Families Plan, another package of spending proposed by the Administration to support working families with provisions to improve access to childcare, universal pre-kindergarten, paid family leave, and free community college tuition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for nearly 15th months.
