Advancing the policy priorities of Native American producers in the upcoming Farm Bill through a strong, united voice.
LEADERSHIP
Since the Coalition’s launch in October 2017, more than 170 Tribes, Intertribal groups, other Native organizations, and non-Native allies have become members of the Native Farm Bill Coalition. The Native Farm Bill Coalition was created in 2017 by the IAC (co‐chair), the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) (co‐chair), the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative (IFAI) as the research partner, and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).

#NATIVEAGVOCATE
Indian Country is a leading force in American agriculture, with more than 80,000 individual Native producers contributing $6.4 billion to the industry.
Members of the Native Farm Bill Coalition are advocating for policy changes in the Farm Bill that would positively impact Indian Country, such as strengthening Tribal self-governance, allowing Tribes to manage nutrition programs, investing in economic development opportunities in rural communities, and much more.
