Federal Support for Sustainable Fibers, Wool, and Natural Dyes Production.

This law expands federal local agriculture support programs (LAMP) to include non-food products like sustainable fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, hemp) and natural dyes. This means farmers using ecological methods to grow or raise these materials can now apply for grants and technical assistance. The goal is to increase the availability of locally sourced, sustainable textile products for consumers.
Key points
Grant programs for farmers now include the production of sustainable fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, flax, hemp) and natural dye products.
Financial and technical support will be available for projects related to agroforestry and sustainable cropping systems.
The definition of 'food' in the relevant agricultural act is expanded to include 'sustainable fibers'.
