Protecting the Freedom to Invest in U.S. Agriculture
The U.S. food system depends on nature and ecosystems. Extreme weather events pose significant threats and costs for the entire agricultural industry.
In many states, lawmakers have introduced legislation that would limit the types of material financial risk, including extreme weather, that financial institutions can consider when making decisions. Policies like these put the government between farmers, the agricultural industry, and lending institutions, which violates the free-market principles that make our country great.
Freedom to Invest seeks to bring together free market leaders to push back against these policies, while amplifying the voices of farmers, companies, and investors. We believe that for our free-market system to thrive, extreme weather risks, such as drought and storms, need to be considered when making financial decisions. This is especially true for agriculture, an industry that every American relies on.
