Cybersecurity in Agriculture Act of 2025
This bill establishes five regional cybersecurity centers for the agriculture sector through competitive grants awarded to eligible land-grant universities. These centers will conduct research, develop security tools (like intrusion detection systems), and run training exercises specifically targeting cyber threats from countries including China, Russia, and Iran. The centers must focus on protecting seed agriculture, horticulture, animal agriculture, and supply chains from cyberattacks. The bill authorizes $25 million annually from 2026 to 2030 to fund these centers and their activities.
