Farm Modernization Act
America’s farms are the backbone of our food supply—but they face mounting challenges from climate change, rising costs, and outdated infrastructure. The Farm Modernization Act invests in resilience, renewable energy, and technological innovation to ensure farmers can thrive while securing America’s food future.
Key Principles
Farm Modernization Board (FMB):
- Oversees programs, funding, and compliance.
- Includes farmers (small, medium, large), experts in sustainability, and public interest representatives.
- Develops free AI tools to help farmers modernize and adapt.
Direct Funding for Upgrades:
- Support for renewable energy projects (solar, biogas, other renewables).
- Expansion of underground and climate-resilient farming.
- Upgrades to irrigation, water conservation, and carbon/methane capture systems.
- Modernized power infrastructure to improve productivity and resilience.
Regulation and Support:
- Farmers facing new regulations can access grants scaled by farm size to offset compliance costs.
- Technical assistance, including AI tools, provided to ensure smooth transitions.
Environmental & Worker Safety:
- Mandatory environmental impact checks on all modernization projects.
- Strong protections for worker safety and health.
Transparency and Accountability:
- Annual reports to Congress on program effectiveness.
- Independent audits to prevent fraud, with results made public.
Why It Matters
Our farmers feed the nation, but they can’t be left to face modern challenges with outdated tools. By investing in renewable energy, resilient infrastructure, and fair funding, this Act ensures that small, medium, and large farms alike can adapt and thrive.
A stronger food supply starts with stronger farms.
