The latest Feeding the Economy report finds the economic output of the food and ag industries increased in every state during 2022.
Senior Director of Public Policy RJ Karney with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture tells Brownfield the growth comes despite disruptions from the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and supply chain issues.
“The agriculture sector, including related activities, contributed more than $8.6 trillion to the national economy, this is a 22 percent increase since the 2019 report,” he explains.
