Agricultural and Food Policy Research Centers Reauthorization Act of 2026
This bill reauthorizes funding for Agricultural and Food Policy Research Centers, which conduct research on food systems and agricultural policy. It directly affects these research centers by extending their authorization period and increasing their annual funding from $10 million to $15 million. The key provision amends existing law to provide $15 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, replacing the previous funding levels that expired in 2023. This change ensures continued financial support for the centers' research activities over a five-year period.
