Extend agricultural programs and training to ocean farmers

Warren proposed directing USDA to create a program for research and policy development on ocean-based farming, including support for ocean farmers’ contributions to climate action. She would include shellfish and seaweed production in the Biomass Crop Assistance Program and disaster assistance programs, and add ocean-farmer training to the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.

Context: The proposal covers ocean farming, including shellfish and seaweed production; it does not specify program funding amounts.

In their own words

I’ll also fully include ocean farming, including shellfish and seaweed production, in critical agricultural programs
