SB 1269 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing the Agriculture Innovation Grant Program and the Agriculture Innovation Board.

This bill creates the Agriculture Innovation Grant Program and a new oversight board to support farms and agribusinesses in Pennsylvania. The program offers reimbursement grants to eligible farmers, processors, and service providers for projects that improve energy efficiency, water quality, production methods, biosecurity, or data management. To receive funding, applicants must submit a proposal and provide at least 30% of the project costs from non-state sources. A newly established board, composed of representatives from various agricultural, government, and legislative sectors, will evaluate and award these grants based on criteria such as project feasibility and sustainability.
