What it does
The Satellite-Based Agricultural Data Act would amend the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) to include commercial weather services as a priority area for funding, specifically by allowing the use of data and tools from such services in mitigation measures. This change would affect researchers and institutions receiving AFRI grants by expanding eligible uses of funds to incorporate commercial weather data in agricultural research. The bill aims to enhance the integration of private-sector weather information into USDA-supported scientific efforts related to agriculture and food systems.
