Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2023

The Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2023 would establish a competitive grant program through the Department of Agriculture to help community colleges expand their agricultural training, research, and education programs. By prioritizing schools that partner with local farms and businesses, the bill aims to provide students with hands-on experience and apprenticeships to prepare them for careers in the agricultural workforce. Additionally, the legislation would allow colleges to apply for a "Center of Excellence" designation to lead regional efforts in agricultural innovation and best practices.
