31 Jul 2023 --- The Peas, Legumes and Nuts Today (PLANT) Act, a legislative move that would provide more opportunities for farmers to produce ingredients used in plant-based foods and help grow the sector, has been introduced in US Congress. The bill would also enhance the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) efforts to promote the export of plant-based foods, foster innovation and help the US reaffirm its role as a farming powerhouse.
