Grants to Boost Domestic Organic Food Production and Supply Chain Capacity.
This law establishes a new grant program aimed at strengthening the domestic supply chain for certified organic products. Citizens can expect greater availability of US-grown organic food, as the program supports farmers and processors in modernizing equipment, storage, and distribution systems. The grants also offer financial relief and support for small businesses and veterans transitioning to certified organic production.
Key points
Creation of a grant program for organic farmers and businesses to modernize and expand infrastructure (storage, processing, distribution).
Two grant types are available: up to $2,000,000 for large infrastructure projects and up to $100,000 for equipment-only purchases.
The program aims to reduce reliance on imported organic food and support local markets, with priority given to beginning farmers and veterans.
