"This Presidential Budget Request builds meaningfully on the priorities of the Administration advanced during its first year including additional investments in climate change resilience and research, equitable access for all farmers and communities, and a deconsolidated food system that returns more value to producers and rural businesses,” said Eric Deeble, Policy Director for the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC). 

"We are also pleased to see that research and extension programs would receive considerable new investments, including funding the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program at its full authorization of $60 million. SARE’s farmer-driven research empowers producers to develop and share innovations with their peers for improving soil health and building resilient food systems,” noted Deeble. “These important research outcomes can be widely shared with producers working to improve their resilience with help of an additional investment of $24 million for the USDA Climate Hubs.”

Important note: the President’s Budget Request includes incorrect enacted funding levels for 2022 - instead of listing 2021 funding levels due to an error by the Office of Management and Budget - and the official budgetary tables are therefore subject to considerable revision.
