The main federal laws governing farming in the USA include the Farm Bill, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The [Farm Bill](https://www.ers.usda.gov/agriculture-improvement-act-of-2018-highlights-and-implications/) provides a comprehensive framework for agriculture and food policies, including crop insurance, conservation programs, and nutrition assistance. The Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of pollutants into waterways, while the Endangered Species Act protects threatened and endangered species and their habitats. FIFRA governs the registration and use of pesticides to ensure they do not pose unreasonable risks.
