Strengthens America's food supply against cyberattacks and emergencies.
This bill would make the Department of Agriculture regularly check for cyber threats and weaknesses in our food supply system. It would also lead annual practice drills for food-related emergencies over five years. These efforts aim to make sure our food is safer and more secure from cyberattacks and other disruptions.
Currently, there are no specific laws requiring the Department of Agriculture to regularly check for cyber threats to our food system or to run annual practice drills for food emergencies. If this bill passes, the Department of Agriculture would conduct cybersecurity risk assessments every two years and lead annual food emergency simulation exercises for five years, backed by $1,000,000 in authorized funding each year for the exercises.
