HB 1367 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

MS Farm & Food Security Act of 2026; create.

HB 1367, the Mississippi Farm and Food Security Act of 2026, requires Mississippi public schools (K-12) to integrate local food systems and nutrition education into health curricula, including topics like agricultural production and consumer awareness. It creates the Mississippi Farm, Food, and Nutrition Commission to coordinate statewide efforts for purchasing locally grown food through schools and food banks, while also establishing a Farm to Food Bank Program to support local food distribution. The bill mandates that physicians renew licenses by completing continuing education on nutrition and metabolic health, and amends school health education standards to require specific weekly physical activity and nutrition instruction. These changes directly affect schools, local farmers, food banks, and healthcare providers by connecting agricultural production with public health initiatives.
