## Summary

**Bolster local and regional food supply chains.** This bill would permanently authorize and expand a Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program and create a nationwide network of regional food systems hubs to fund middle-of-the-supply-chain projects and prioritize underserved producers. - Farmers and local processors would get competitive infrastructure grants for aggregation, processing, storage, distribution, and food-safety upgrades. Grants range from $100,000 to $3,000,000 and equipment-only awards from $10,000 to $100,000, with priority for beginning, veteran, and socially disadvantaged producers. - States would receive cooperative agreements based on each State's share of targeted product production and a statutory minimum of $1,000,000 per State per year, with up to 20 percent for supply-chain coordination and up to 8 percent for administration. - At least 10 regional hubs plus one intertribal hub would provide local technical assistance, market development, procurement help, and subawards. Hubs face a 20 percent administrative cap and are authorized $75 million per year for FY2027–2031. *This bill would authorize $200 million per year for the infrastructure program and $75 million per year for regional hubs for FY2027–2031, about $275 million per year and $1.4 billion over five years, increasing federal spending.*
