The Resilient Food Supply Chain and Affordability Act directs the Department of Agriculture to continue operating the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure program, which was originally created as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan. The key change in this bill is that it expands what program recipients can use their funding for by allowing them to support infrastructure projects related to meat and poultry products, in addition to the activities already permitted. This affects agricultural businesses, food processors, and other entities that receive grants or assistance through this program to strengthen local and regional food systems. The bill essentially keeps the existing program running while broadening its scope to address supply chain vulnerabilities in the meat and poultry sectors. No new funding amounts or specific timelines are specified in the legislation.
