The bill would create an Agriculture Climate Scientific Research Advisory Committee within the Department of Agriculture and a Rural Climate Alliance Network run through the department’s Climate Hubs. The committee would advise on research priorities, data collection, and technology transfer, and review research results. The network would connect research and service organizations and support climate information, training, and technical assistance for agricultural producers and rural communities. The bill would also require a public report to Congress within one year on research and data needs, technical assistance, and related recommendations.
Agricultural producers and rural communities could receive climate-related research, training, data, and technical assistance through the network. The bill does not guarantee specific services or benefits to any person or community.
The bill does not specify a total cost or a specific appropriation. It allows the committee to have an executive director and up to three staff members, and provides for member travel expenses. The committee would also recommend research budget activities and funding levels.
