Establishes State as purchaser of last resort for produce; directs Department of Agriculture to establish program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to create a program where the state acts as a "purchaser of last resort" for unsold fruits and vegetables from farmers. It directs the department to buy produce at a reasonable market price from farmers who cannot sell it elsewhere, then distribute it to food banks, homeless shelters, senior centers, adult day care facilities, veterans groups, and other nonprofits providing meals. The program must comply with Department of Health food safety rules, and the department must request annual funding to implement it. The bill directly affects New Jersey farmers facing unsold inventory and nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable populations.
