Food choices.

Existing law establishes the Department of Food and Agriculture, which is tasked with, among other things, promoting and protecting the agricultural industry of the state, and seeking to enhance, protect, and perpetuate the ability of the private sector to produce food and fiber in a way that benefits the general welfare and economy of the state. Existing law also establishes the California Healthy Food Financing Initiative for the purpose of promoting healthy food access in the state. This bill would state that it is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would develop and implement a coherent and comprehensive policy to improve access to more equitable, sustainable, and healthier food choices for all Californians.
