Establishes Artisan Bread Council in Department of Agriculture.
This bill creates a five-member Artisan Bread Council within New Jersey's Department of Agriculture. The council, including the Agriculture Secretary and four private members (two bakers and two grain farmers), will identify industry needs, connect farmers with bakeries, and monitor economic trends. It requires an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing farm locations, bakery output, market trends, and recommendations for improving the industry. The council can seek grants to support farms and small bakeries and advise policymakers on programs affecting grain farmers and artisan bread makers.
