Creates Ethnic Produce Task Force.
This bill creates a nine-member Ethnic Produce Task Force within New Jersey's Department of Agriculture. The task force, appointed by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker, will study demand for ethnic produce, identify locally growable crops, and connect farmers with businesses needing such products. Within one year, it must develop recommendations to increase sales of locally grown ethnic produce and submit a report to the Agriculture Secretary. The initiative directly affects New Jersey farmers, grocery stores, restaurants, and ethnic food businesses by aiming to align local farming with community food demands.
