Strengthening Local Food Security: Support for Farmers and Communities.
This act aims to improve citizens' access to healthy food, especially in underserved communities. It supports local farmers and fishers by providing a stable market for their products and helps schools and food banks deliver fresh produce. As a result, residents can expect better food quality and increased food security.
Key points

Food will be distributed to schools and hunger relief organizations, increasing access to healthy meals.
Funds are allocated to strengthen local food supply chains and improve the resilience of the food system.
Priority in food distribution is given to communities with limited access to healthy food or high rates of poverty/hunger.
