The Department of Agriculture offers the Critical Agricultural Materials Grant to support comprehensive product development, demonstration, and validation of performance under operational field conditions. This grant is specifically for innovative paints, coatings, adhesives for composites, and aerial delivery systems or components manufactured from domestically produced agricultural materials. The primary purpose is to foster the creation of strategically and industrially important products that benefit the nation’s economy, defense, and general well-being. These initiatives specifically aim to replace petroleum-based products, thereby offering significant opportunities to create new businesses and new markets for agricultural materials, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient national supply chain.
