Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
Summary
The EAT Healthy Foods from Local Farmers Act would give states money to purchase priority agricultural products—like fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and grain—from eligible small‑business growers and processors. Those foods would be sent to emergency feeding organizations to help people facing food insecurity, while also supporting local producers. The goal is to improve nutrition access, strengthen supply chains, and boost economic opportunities for underserved farms.
