Plain-English Summary
This bill would likely change how the federal government buys food, potentially requiring agencies to purchase more from small farms and local producers instead of large suppliers. The changes could affect both the farmers and food companies that sell to the government, as well as the federal agencies responsible for feeding programs like school lunches and military meals. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Small Business committee to determine whether these new purchasing rules would help small agricultural businesses compete.
