Honors 40th anniversary of Jersey Fresh program.

SCR 20 is a symbolic concurrent resolution commemorating the 40th anniversary of New Jersey's Jersey Fresh program, a state-sponsored agricultural branding initiative established in 1984. The resolution does not create new policies or affect any group; it solely honors the program's role in promoting locally grown produce through a distinctive label and quality standards. Jersey Fresh requires produce to meet U.S. No. 1 Fresh for Processing grade or better, guaranteeing freshness and quality while supporting family farms. The program, recognized nationally as a model, has expanded to over 2,000 locations across all 21 counties and inspired related initiatives like Jersey Grown and Jersey Seafood. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no binding effect on law or policy.
