The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 was a law that was made to help make food and energy more affordable and to help protect the environment. It allowed the government to give money to farmers so they would plant crops that help the environment, like trees and plants that can reduce soil erosion. It also provided money to help poor people get enough food to eat, and made it easier for people to buy food produced in the United States. Finally, it provided money for research on ways to use energy more efficiently and produce energy from renewable sources like the wind and the sun. With this law, many people have access to more affordable food and energy, and the environment benefits too.
