Bill Summary
A BILL To address the impact of climate change on agriculture, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for addressing climate change in agriculture through multiple strategies and initiatives. The Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025 sets ambitious national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector, aiming to achieve a 50% reduction from 2010 levels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2040. The bill includes provisions to increase federal investment in agricultural research, improve soil health, preserve farmland, support pasture-based livestock production, promote on-farm renewable energy, and reduce food loss and waste. Key initiatives include establishing regional climate hubs, expanding research into sustainable agriculture, providing incentives for conservation practices, creating new grant programs for farmers, standardizing food date labeling, and supporting composting and food waste reduction efforts. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to develop an action plan to implement these goals, with a focus on providing benefits to farmers, rural communities, and disadvantaged populations while simultaneously addressing environmental challenges and creating economic opportunities.
