Interim study of food security and agricultural prosperity

Montana's SJ 46 is a joint resolution requesting an interim study on food security and agricultural prosperity. It directs a legislative committee to examine food availability, production methods, access challenges, value-added opportunities for local crops, and existing programs like the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. The committee must collaborate with stakeholders and report findings to the 70th Legislature by September 2026. This resolution does not enact new policy but aims to inform future decisions on food systems and agriculture.
