Recognizing the longstanding partnership between USDA and NASA and encouraging further interagency collaboration.

HRES 1159 is a symbolic resolution (not a law) recognizing the existing partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and NASA. It highlights how the agencies share data - like NASA’s satellite soil moisture monitoring and USDA’s ground-based research - to improve agricultural practices, resource conservation, and food security. The resolution encourages them to strengthen collaboration, including STEM education efforts, to support farmers and ranchers who produce food, fuel, and fiber. It does not create new policies or funding but formally acknowledges their mutual benefits and urges continued cooperation.
