Introduced Session

This bill establishes a five member New Jersey Artisan Bread Council in the Department of Agriculture. The council's purpose is to publicize local artisan breads, enhance the connection between farmers and artisan bread makers, assess the economic landscape of the artisan bread industry, and develop recommendations to promote artisan bakeries throughout the State. The bill assigns several responsibilities to the five-person council, including monitoring the needs of the State artisan bread industry, developing a report on economic and legal trends affecting the artisan bread industry, and identifying grant opportunities for the proliferation of artisan breads. The written report, submitted to the Governor and the Legislature, would inform farmers, artisan bread makers, and legislators of any changes which might help artisan bread makers in the State anticipate, recognize, and respond to changing market conditions, and to establish a firm economic foundation for and improve the economic viability and vitality of the artisan bread industry.
