Recognizes right to adequate food.
SJR 93 is a symbolic resolution recognizing New Jersey's commitment to the right to adequate food for all residents. It formally declares that the state should promote food security through principles like nutritional quality, cultural appropriateness, physical and economic access, sustainability, and food sovereignty - without creating new laws or funding. The resolution defines key terms (e.g., "economic access" and "food sovereignty") and emphasizes that these principles should guide future policies. It does not impose new requirements on government or businesses but serves as a declarative statement of legislative intent. As a resolution, it affects no specific groups through policy changes, only affirming a foundational value for future decision-making.
