American Food Supply Chain Resiliency Act
The American Food Supply Chain Resiliency Act establishes two new programs to strengthen the domestic food supply by funding infrastructure and providing technical assistance. The first program offers grants to states and eligible entities, such as local governments and small businesses, to build facilities for processing, storing, and distributing locally produced food items like dairy, grains, and meat. The second program creates at least 10 regional food systems hubs to offer direct business support, financial coaching, and market development services to farmers and agribusinesses. Funding for these initiatives is authorized through 2031, with a specific priority given to underserved producers and socially disadvantaged individuals.
