Visit the Community Food Security Coalition's policy page at: <http://www.foodsecurity.org/policy.html> http://www.foodsecurity.org/policy.html for the latest information on the Healthy Food and Communities package (including Farm to Cafeteria and Community Food Projects) that will be considered as part of the Nutrition Title. Week of June 18: The House Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management will meet to markup Chairman Peterson's (D-MN) Commodity Title proposal.

Week of July 2 (July 4 recess) Week of July 9: Possible start of Senate Ag Committee markup of the farm bill, though nothing has been set in stone yet. Week of July 16: The House leaders have guaranteed time for consideration of the farm bill on the House floor this week.
