PPIC Welcomed Representative Betty McCollum’s Office

Senator McCollum's Office visit 2025

We were pleased to host staff from U.S. Representative Betty McCollum’s Office at the Plant Protein Innovation Center.

Representative McCollum has been a strong advocate for sustainable agriculture and food innovation. Her support for initiatives like the PLANT Act, which expands USDA programs to include plant-based food producers and researchers, reflects a commitment to building resilient food systems and supporting farmers growing ingredients like pulses, legumes, and mushrooms.

At PPIC, we’re contributing to this vision by advancing plant protein research across the value chain through interdisciplinary research and industry collaboration. Thank you to Representative McCollum’s team for your thoughtful engagement and continued support of agricultural progress.
