Local Foods Production Act of Indiana
Encourage our State Legislature to pass common sense legislation on the production and distribution of locally produced foods and build food sovereignty initiatives for the communities of Indiana
Why is this important?
Establish food sovereignty and security for the State of Indiana. Indiana is one of the worst States in the Union in providing fresh, quality food to thousands of residents who need it. In addition, many urban and rural residents in our State live ten miles or more from a supermarket, farmer's market or food pantry. Establishing a local foods production and distribution law is the first step in reorganizing our food system to meet the needs of all of our residents and put an end to draconian laws that prevent access to fresh, healthy food and eliminate the rise of "food deserts" once and for all.
