What are the direct consequences of the Trump administration's proposed USDA budget cuts for Black farmers and food access in underserved communities?

The Trump administration's proposed budget cuts to the USDA would disproportionately harm Black farmers, who already face systemic disadvantages in accessing land, loans, and subsidies. This follows a historical pattern of discrimination, resulting in a drastic decline in Black farmers from 14% of the U.S. farming population in 1920 to less than 1% today.
