S 1895 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs Department of Agriculture to establish "Farm to Food Bank Pilot Program."

S 1895 establishes New Jersey's "Farm to Food Bank Pilot Program," directing the Department of Agriculture to create a three-year initiative connecting farmers with food banks to distribute fresh produce and agricultural products. The program provides grants covering part or all of a farmer's production costs (up to market price) for contracted food, administered through the Department of Agriculture with input from the Department of Health. Farmers and food banks negotiate specific contracts for distribution, and the program requires a final report to the Governor and Legislature after three years to evaluate its success.
