Farmers’ Market and Food Bank Local Revitalization Act of 2023

This bill increases funding and expands benefits for two key nutrition programs: it raises the senior farmers' market program benefit to $35 per person (removing the previous cap) and increases WIC program benefits from $10 to $35 per person, while also raising income eligibility limits. It allocates $50 million annually (2024-2029) for grants and loans to build or improve farmers' markets in food deserts, requiring at least 50% of market space to sell locally grown food. A separate $7.5 million pilot funds 15 food banks (5 in urban, suburban, and rural areas across all Census regions) to contract with local farmers for produce, prioritizing food-insecure communities. The bill directly affects seniors, low-income families participating in WIC, local farmers, and food banks in underserved areas.
