Food Policy Tracker

Every day, decisions are made in Washington, D.C. that have profound consequences for how we grow, process, transport, and consume food in this country.

We’re keeping track: Consider this your go-to source for actions taken by the president, federal agencies, and Congress that directly relate to or have significant implications for the food system.

Lisa Held, our senior staff reporter and contributing editor, is on the ground in our nation’s capital, reporting and writing these daily updates. Got a tip?

Civil Eats reporters respect the privacy and individual wishes of their sources as to whether and how they are identified. We will do everything within our power to protect our sources.)

How to use this tracker: We’ll tag every post with the relevant government agencies and topics. You can check the boxes below to see only the posts on topics you’re interested in.

Keep up to speed! You can receive these posts by email in two ways: Our Instant Updates email will land in your inbox as soon as we publish, and our Weekly Digest gets sent on Friday afternoons and collects the week’s posts in one email. Sign up for either or both by logging into to your account (or creating an account).
