The U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee and the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee have passed the Securing our Agriculture and Food Act. The bill proposes policies and response plans be in place to address the national security challenges of Agro-terrorism and other high-risk events that can pose a serious threat to food, agriculture and livestock industries across the U.S. Iowa Congressman, Dave Young, began working on the bill in 2016 and says, “I am pleased with the significant progress my solution to address this important issue has made in Congress. Security is not a partisan issue and I will continue to work with my colleagues to keep our country safe.” The approval by both committees now clears the bill for consideration in the full House and Senate.
