The Industrial Agriculture Conversion Act, introduced by U.S. Representatives Alma Adams and Jim McGovern, and Senator Cory Booker, aims to provide financial support to farmers transitioning away from factory farming practices. The bill seeks to create a more humane and sustainable food system by offering funding through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for farmers to switch to pasture-based farming or crop production.
