It directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish research centers of excellence focused on alternative protein innovation. The legislation also establishes a national program dedicated to protein security and a food biomanufacturing grant program. Additionally, it creates a food bioworkforce development grant program and requires a national strategy on alternative proteins. These efforts aim to diversify the food system through bioprocessing and biomanufacturing.
