Bill Summary

A BILL To establish a pilot program on research and development of plant-based protein for the Navy, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot program for the U.S. Navy to research and develop plant-based protein options for consumption at selected naval facilities, particularly those where livestock-based protein may be costly to obtain or store. The Secretary of the Navy is required to identify at least two naval facilities to participate in the program by March 1, 2023, and is authorized to use certain research and development authorities to carry out the program. The program will run for three years, and the Secretary must submit a report to Congress one year after its termination, providing information on the consumption rate of plant-based proteins, criteria to expand plant-based options at other facilities, and a cost analysis comparing plant-based and livestock-based proteins.
