The Senate Concurrent Resolution, introduced by Senators McMath and Boudreaux, calls on the United States Congress to direct the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reinstate and fund the Local Food for Schools (LFS) Program. This program previously provided essential financial support to Louisiana school districts, enabling them to purchase and serve locally grown, nutritious food from regional farmers. The resolution highlights the program's significant impact, which included approximately three million dollars in annual funding that not only nourished students but also bolstered the local agricultural economy by creating new market opportunities for farmers.

The resolution emphasizes the negative consequences of the program's discontinuation, such as disrupted local supply chains and reduced access to healthy meals for children in Louisiana. It advocates for the restoration of the LFS Program as a means to align with national health initiatives aimed at improving access to nutritious, locally sourced food, particularly in schools. By investing in local food systems, the resolution argues that food security can be strengthened, preventive health promoted, and economic development supported across Louisiana and the nation. The resolution concludes by requesting that copies be sent to key federal officials and members of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
