Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Ensures continued federal funding for local and regional food infrastructure projects that connect farmers directly with consumers
Supports small and mid-sized farms, food hubs, farmers markets, and local processors in upgrading equipment and facilities
Strengthens community food security by creating more resilient supply chains that aren't dependent on large national distributors
Builds on a successful USDA program initially funded through pandemic relief that has helped communities develop independent food systems

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

Small-scale farmers, local food processors, food hubs, and farmers markets would benefit from continued access to infrastructure grants. Consumers in communities with local food systems would see more stable access to fresh, locally-sourced food, particularly during supply chain disruptions. Rural and underserved communities could develop stronger local economies through enhanced agricultural infrastructure.
