Affordable Food Act.

Summary

The Affordable Food Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services to seek a USDA waiver so North Carolina can run a nutrition‑incentive program that matches SNAP benefits for fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. It earmarks $11 million for program matching funds and administration, and provides additional state money to replace federal SNAP administrative funding lost under Public Law 119‑21. The bill aims to improve food access for low‑income residents while supporting local farmers and preserving farmland.
