The Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025 establishes ambitious national goals for the agricultural sector, aiming for a 50% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 . To meet these targets, the bill outlines subgoals across various areas, including significantly increasing federal investment in agricultural research focused on climate adaptation and mitigation, and promoting widespread adoption of soil health practices like cover cropping and perennial systems. The legislation mandates the establishment of Regional Hubs for Risk Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change to provide farmers with science-based information and support, alongside a Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network for sustained study of agricultural sustainability. It also directs substantial funding towards developing climate-resilient public crop varieties and animal breeds, and expands the scope of existing research initiatives like AFRI and SARE to prioritize climate change solutions. For soil health , the bill amends crop insurance policies to offer premium discounts for risk-reducing conservation practices and significantly increases funding for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), emphasizing climate adaptation, mitigation, and carbon sequestration. A new grant program is created to assist states and tribal governments in developing and implementing soil health plans, and an advisory committee will guide the development of environmental services markets for carbon and GHG reductions. The bill strengthens farmland preservation by updating the Farmland Protection Policy Act to minimize the conversion of agricultural land, especially "farmland of national significance," and integrates climate-friendly practices into the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) and the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). It also increases the federal share and makes funding mandatory for the National Organic Certification Cost-Share Program. In the pasture-based livestock sector, the bill establishes mandatory verification for animal raising claims on meat and poultry labels, including environmental stewardship claims. It creates a Processing Resilience Grant Program to support small and very small meat and poultry processors and significantly expands funding for private grazing land conservation, with a focus on managed grazing systems and climate resilience. A new "Grassland 30 Contracts" pilot program within the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) offers 30-year contracts for sustainable grazing, aiming to enroll 5 million acres. To promote on-farm renewable energy , the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) is expanded to explicitly include greenhouse gas reduction, with increased funding and loan guarantees, and a focus on carbon accounting. The bill also mandates a study and research sites for agrivoltaic systems (co-locating solar energy and agriculture) and transfers the AgSTAR program to USDA to support anaerobic digestion for methane reduction from livestock waste. Finally, the legislation addresses food loss and waste by standardizing food date labels to "BEST If Used By" for quality and "USE By" for discard, accompanied by consumer education. It mandates that composting be recognized as a conservation practice and requires federal contractors to donate excess wholesome food. New grant programs are established for large-scale composting and anaerobic digestion projects, and for school food waste reduction, alongside a dedicated Food Waste Research Program.
