Bill overview
The Local School Foods Expansion Act of 2023 aims to improve school meals by expanding a program that supports states in purchasing domestically grown, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. The bill increases the number of participating states from eight to fourteen and introduces requirements for states to prioritize supporting small, local, and socially disadvantaged farmers and Tribal producers. It also mandates a program evaluation to assess the program’s impact on farmers, school food service, and barriers to participation.
