Bill > AB405

This bill directs the Council on Food Security to conduct a comprehensive study during the 2025-2026 interim period to address food insecurity in Nevada. The study will evaluate existing laws and policies related to food security, identify potential areas for developing community gardens and urban farms, assess how various government and private organizations are currently coordinating efforts to reduce food insecurity, and develop recommendations for improving statewide food security strategies. Specifically, the Council must examine current state laws, pinpoint geographic locations where community gardens could help reduce food insecurity, analyze the coordination efforts of state, local, and private entities, and propose appropriate strategies for better addressing food insecurity. By December 1, 2026, the Council is required to submit a written report detailing the study's findings to the Director of the State Department of Agriculture and the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, with the report intended to inform discussions during the 84th Legislative Session. This bill builds upon existing Nevada laws that already promote community gardens, urban farming, and food security initiatives.
