The Cybersecurity in Agriculture Act of 2025 directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish five Regional Agriculture Cybersecurity Centers in partnership with colleges and universities that have expertise in both agriculture and cybersecurity. These centers would conduct research on cyber threats to farms and agricultural supply chains, develop security tools and monitoring systems, run training exercises, and create educational programs for farmers and agricultural workers. The centers would be coordinated through a national network led by one designated university, and would work with industry partners, cooperatives, and government agencies to strengthen the agricultural sector's defenses against cyberattacks. The bill authorizes $25 million per year in funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. This legislation addresses growing concerns about cyberattacks targeting agricultural infrastructure and the food supply chain.
