this amendment would expand Federal support for sustainable agriculture and innovative sustainability solutions through the AGARDA program. AGARDA helps to find cutting-edge solutions to food, agriculture, and environmental challenges. This amendment will build upon the already proven success of this program by expanding its research to include innovative sustainability solutions. This amendment will give our agricultural producers the tools they need to increase sustainable and efficient use of water, soil, and other natural resources, and it will help farms adapt to challenges, like extreme weather event and drought. This effort is bipartisan, done in partnership with Representative Flood, and I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
