AG2PI Act of 2025

This bill continues a national research program that links genes to traits in crops and livestock. It keeps the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative going through fiscal year 2030, with competitive grants that fund and coordinate research on important farm plants and animals. The goal is to turn genetic knowledge into real-world improvements—like stronger disease resistance and better performance in different environments—so farmers and ranchers can choose better seeds and management practices. This is meant to boost resilience, productivity, and profits while supporting more sustainable agriculture as conditions change over time .

Key points

• Who is affected: Farmers, ranchers, and agricultural researchers, including data and social scientists who work on these projects.
• What changes: The research and grant program is reauthorized, with continued support to expand knowledge of genomes and traits and to coordinate work across teams.
• Why it matters: Better understanding of genes and traits can help choose the best genetics and practices, improving farm resilience, productivity, and profitability, and promoting sustainable production under current and future climate conditions.
• When: Through FY2030.
