Joint Study Committee on Generational Sustainability of Family Farms; create

HR 1416 creates a Joint Study Committee on Generational Sustainability of Family Farms in Georgia. The committee, composed of nine members (including legislative leaders and the Agriculture Commissioner), will study challenges facing family farms such as economic pressures, rising input costs, declining farmer numbers, and mental health impacts. It aims to evaluate these issues and recommend policy solutions to support farm sustainability, develop domestic markets, and prepare the next generation of farmers. The committee must report its findings by December 1, 2027, and will not enact new laws itself. This is a procedural resolution to conduct research, not a legislative action affecting specific policies.
