Sustainable Agriculture Research Act aims to enhance sustainable agriculture's role in innovative sustainability solutions.
The Sustainable Agriculture Research Act amends the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977. It adds a new goal for the Agriculture Advanced Research and Development Authority (AGARDA) to enhance sustainable agriculture's role in innovative sustainability solutions. This includes developing agricultural technologies to address extreme weather, drought, water holding capacity, carbon storage, and precision agriculture. The bill also defines "precision agriculture" as managing production inputs at a high level of detail to improve efficiencies and reduce waste.
