What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill tells the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to create a cybersecurity program focused on protecting farming and agriculture. The program would give money to certain colleges and universities to set up five regional centers that research and teach about cybersecurity for areas like crops, animals, and the agriculture supply chain, with a focus on preventing cyberattacks from China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. The colleges involved must have programs in both agriculture and cybersecurity and must work with local farmers, businesses, and government to make agricultural systems safer and to train workers who can protect those systems. One college or university would also be chosen to lead a national network connecting all five centers.
