This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to broaden the scope of the experienced services program . It specifically enables the program to support cooperative initiatives aimed at enhancing higher education teaching programs in agriculture, including through the provision of paid work-based learning opportunities. The legislation clarifies that these initiatives can take place at various institutions of higher education. Furthermore, the bill adds new definitions for "institution of higher education," "land-grant colleges and universities," and "work-based learning" by referencing existing federal statutes to ensure clarity and consistency. These changes aim to strengthen agricultural education and provide practical experience for future professionals in the field.
