Requires the establishment of a plant-based agriculture grant program

This bill creates a new grant program to help small and medium-sized farms switch from raising livestock or growing feed crops to plant-based agriculture. The state department would manage the program by offering financial grants and providing technical support, such as expert advice and planning help, to guide farmers through this transition. To receive funding, applicants must submit a detailed plan outlining their current crops, the land they intend to convert, and a timeline for the change. Grants will be awarded competitively based on proposals that follow specific guidelines set by the department. The law requires recipients to report back on their progress to ensure they are successfully moving toward plant-based farming practices.
