AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to recognize at least 3 research centers focused on new food and farm technologies, especially alternative protein sources, with one led by a historically Black land-grant (1890) institution. It creates an Agricultural Research Service program on bioprocessing, biomanufacturing, and turning under-used biomass into food ingredients. It sets up a grant program of at least $10 million per award for U.S.-owned entities to build or expand facilities that produce edible proteins and fats, and a separate grant program for workforce training and scholarships in this field. It also requires a national strategy on protein security within one year and states that nothing in the bill supports producing insects for food or animal feed.
