Empowering Women in Agriculture Act

Summary

The bill updates the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to add gender as a protected category and to recognize women’s nonprofit groups that serve women. It requires at least 10% of certain USDA program funds to be directed to socially disadvantaged women farmers and ranchers and extends the funding period through fiscal year 2031. The changes aim to improve access to federal assistance for women who face racial, ethnic, or gender bias in agriculture.
