USDA Announces $180 Million to Fund Seed Research

The USDA has announced a new $180 million funding initiative through the Stand-Up Program to support agricultural seed research. This investment aims to bolster food system resilience and innovation, contributing to the broader landscape of food policy and nutrition security.

HNH Insight

While not exclusively a 'Food is Medicine' startup venture, this significant federal investment represents the public sector's role in funding the foundational infrastructure of the food system, which is a critical component of the Food is Medicine movement's supply chain.
