Establish a farm to food bank program

This bill establishes a new grant program called the Farm to Food Bank Act, which would be administered by the Montana Department of Agriculture to support local food initiatives. The program provides funding to regional food hubs that purchase Montana-grown food items like fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products and distribute them to food pantries serving low-income consumers. Grants are awarded through a competitive process that prioritizes applicants who can reach underserved communities, particularly in rural areas and on tribal reservations, while ensuring purchased food supplements rather than replaces existing food bank nutrition programs. The bill creates a special state revenue account to fund these grants and allows recipients to use up to 20% of award amounts for administrative costs.
