Bill overview
The Effective Food Procurement Act aims to improve how the Department of Agriculture purchases food, prioritizing a more just, healthy, and sustainable food system. It encourages the USDA to buy more foods from regional farms, support worker well-being, and address environmental concerns like deforestation. The bill establishes a pilot program for ‘best value’ procurement and provides grants and technical assistance to help beginning, veteran, and socially disadvantaged farmers, fishermen, and ranchers participate in these programs.
