## Summary

**Expands AGARDA's mission and funding.** This bill would convert the Agriculture Advanced Research and Development Authority from a pilot into a standing program and broaden its priorities to include water conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, and resilience against extreme weather, drought, pests, and disease. It also reorganizes leadership, staffing, planning, and funding rules to match that expanded mission. - Farmers and rural communities: Focuses research on water-saving technologies and tools to cut emissions and build resilience, which could help farms manage drought and outbreaks more effectively. - Researchers and agritech companies: Raises authorized support to $100.0 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 and allows the Secretary to use unobligated USDA funds for AGARDA projects, expanding potential funding pathways. - USDA operations and program design: Requires the AGARDA Director to work closely with the Office of the Chief Scientist, creates a qualified AGARDA staff framework, and directs use of a 2022 strategic plan to guide priorities. *This bill would increase authorized federal funding for AGARDA and therefore would likely raise federal outlays compared with prior authorization levels.*
