What it does
The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish research centers of excellence focused on alternative protein innovation, including at least one led by an 1890 Institution, and to create new national programs and grant initiatives supporting bioprocessing, biomanufacturing, and workforce development in food innovation. It authorizes significant annual funding—totaling $100 million per year from 2026 to 2030—for these efforts, including grants for facility construction, workforce training, and a national strategy on alternative proteins coordinated across multiple federal agencies. The bill explicitly excludes support for insect-based food or feed production.
