Create a tax credit of up to $500 per year for individuals and families to write off expenses related to home gardens and the equipment and supplies for the freezing and canning of garden produce.
Why is this important?
To nurture and speed up the development of local and regional food systems. With 500,000 acres being removed from food production in California due to long term drought, and commodity agricultural exports raising food prices at home, the Local Food Security Tax Credit will make food available and keep food affordable for millions of Americans.
