Requires Department of Agriculture to take various actions to publicize and promote community supported agriculture in New Jersey.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to promote community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, which connect consumers with local farms through subscription-based shares of seasonal produce. Specifically, the department must create an online directory of all CSAs, advertise their benefits through media and signage, develop special farm product labels identifying CSA sales, and establish an annual "Community Supported Agriculture Week" in February. The bill also updates existing funding for the "Jersey Fresh" program to include CSA promotion, allowing the department to collect and use funds for these efforts. These actions directly affect New Jersey farmers operating CSAs, consumers seeking local food options, and state agencies managing agricultural promotion.
