The Policy and Government Relations team implements education and advocacy strategies to address the policy priorities identified by the IAC’s General Membership. The team engages in a broad range of activities that include analyzing the impact of USDA and BIA regulations on Tribal producers and providing education and advocacy training to Tribes and Tribal producers, to engaging with federal agencies and members of Congress to ensure the breadth of Tribal agriculture—economic development, parity for Tribes, increased access to federal programming, and more—is included in policy decisions. Additionally, as a co-steward of the Native Farm Bill Coalition (NFBC), IAC advocates for, and alongside, Tribal communities for the betterment of Indian Country through the Farm Bill.
