Research is good, but let's make sure this funding actually gets to the farms, not just the fancy labs.

Investing in tropical crops means investing in small farmers and sustainable futures. That’s the kind of policy that grows justice.

Supporting tropical plants is smart, as long as we keep a close eye on budget and results—no pork, just progress.

This bill could save crops or waste money—time to watch the rollout and see if it’s science or just green-washing.

Finally, some love for the plants that keep our planet green and workers fed—science-backed and people-powered!
