ACE Agriculture Act of 2023
The ACE Agriculture Act of 2023 amends the Agriculture Advanced Research and Development Authority (AGARDA) within the USDA. It expands the program’s research focus to include water conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, and resilience to climate impacts like drought and pests. The bill increases annual funding from $50 million to $100 million for fiscal years 2024-2029 and clarifies that the AGARDA Director must collaborate closely with the USDA Chief Scientist while operating independently from other department programs. This directly affects USDA’s agricultural research initiatives and will influence how farmers and ranchers access new technologies for sustainable farming.
