The Department of Energy (which handles energy and power-grid issues) and the Department of Agriculture (which oversees farming and food policy) would be required to team up and jointly fund research projects instead of working separately. They'd set up a system where universities, national research labs, nonprofits, and other government agencies can compete for funding to study things like using AI on farms, turning crops into fuel, upgrading rural power grids, preventing wildfires, and making farming more efficient while cutting pollution. In practice, this mainly affects researchers and institutions applying for these grants, plus farmers and rural communities who could eventually benefit from whatever new technologies or methods come out of the research.
