Requires Departments of Agriculture and Education to cooperatively implement new "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" initiative to promote and facilitate increased procurement and use of local and regional foods for school meals program purposes.

This bill requires New Jersey's Departments of Agriculture and Education to work together to expand the "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" initiative, which aims to increase the purchase and use of local and regional foods in school meal programs. The legislation focuses on administrative cooperation between state agencies to facilitate better sourcing of locally grown produce and ingredients for school lunches and breakfasts. By mandating joint implementation efforts, the bill seeks to strengthen connections between schools and local farmers without changing eligibility rules for students or altering existing meal program structures.
