Bill > HR2379

This bill amends the existing Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to expand the types of food products that can be provided through the program. Specifically, the bill adds tree nuts, both in-shell and shelled, to the list of eligible food items that can be distributed to seniors through farmers' markets. The Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is a federal initiative designed to provide fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products to low-income seniors, helping to improve their nutrition and support local farmers. By including tree nuts in the program, the bill aims to enhance the nutritional options available to senior participants and potentially increase the variety of healthy foods they can access through this assistance program.
