This bill directs the Department of Agriculture to continue operating the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure program, which was originally established as part of the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021. The main change is that it expands the types of products eligible for funding under the program by allowing recipients to use the money for activities related to meat and poultry products, in addition to whatever other food categories were previously covered. The bill affects food producers, processors, and distributors who receive grants or other assistance through this federal program aimed at strengthening local and regional food supply chains. No new funding amounts or specific timelines are established in the legislation; instead, it ensures the existing program continues with this expanded eligibility for meat and poultry-related projects.
