Food and Agriculture Industry Cybersecurity Support Act

This bill creates an online cybersecurity clearinghouse within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to support food and agriculture businesses.

It will consolidate voluntary cybersecurity recommendations covering system protection, incident response, and data security for the industry. The bill also mandates a government study on current cybersecurity efforts in the sector, to be completed within 90 days of enactment.
