Boosts funding for agricultural research to tackle climate change and food challenges
This bill would double the money for a key agricultural research program, making it permanent. It would help farmers and researchers find new ways to deal with extreme weather, save water, and reduce greenhouse gases from farming.
Today, the Agriculture Advanced Research and Development Authority (AGARDA) is a temporary pilot program authorized for $50,000,000 annually through the government's 2023 budget year. If this bill passes, AGARDA would become a permanent program and would be authorized to receive $100,000,000 each year from the government's budget years 2027 through 2031, with a broader focus on climate and resource challenges.
