Recognizes right to adequate food.

AJR 72 is a joint resolution recognizing the right to adequate food in New Jersey, not a binding law. It declares that all residents have the right to physical and economic access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food that meets nutritional needs, while defining key terms like "food sovereignty" and "sustainability." The resolution directs state, county, and municipal entities to prioritize this right in future policies - especially for underdeveloped communities - and coordinate with the Department of Agriculture to support local farming. It does not create new programs or legal obligations but serves as a guiding principle for future legislation. The resolution was withdrawn after being approved as part of P.L.2025, JR-19.
