Extends agricultural research program to help farmers until 2031
This bill would extend an important agricultural research program called the Genome to Phenome Initiative. This means scientists would continue to study how plant and animal genetics affect their traits until 2031. Farmers and the agricultural sector would benefit from ongoing research to improve crops and livestock.
Today, the Genome to Phenome Initiative is authorized to conduct agricultural research until 2023. If this bill passes, the initiative would be allowed to continue its work until 2031, extending its authorization by eight years.
