This bill amends the Competitive, Special, and Facilities Research Grant Act to include commercial weather services as a priority area for funding under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) of the Department of Agriculture. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of U.S. Code to explicitly mention that research related to agricultural climate and weather challenges can now incorporate data and tools from commercial weather services. The modification is relatively simple, adding a phrase to an existing subsection that will allow researchers and agricultural scientists to more easily leverage commercial weather data and technologies when studying agricultural climate mitigation measures. By making this change, the bill aims to broaden the resources available to agricultural researchers and potentially improve their ability to understand and address climate-related challenges in agriculture.
