Key Points

This proposal would make natural pest control a top priority for federal agricultural research. This means using things like beneficial insects or tiny organisms to protect crops instead of relying only on chemical sprays.
The goal is to help farmers find new ways to stop bugs and diseases from destroying their harvests. By using these natural solutions, the policy also aims to reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses that can happen during the growing process.
If this becomes law, the government would offer grants to scientists and teachers to create new tools and show farmers how to use them. This could lead to more sustainable farming and potentially safer food for families across the country.
