The resolution calls on the United States Congress to urge the Department of Agriculture to reinstate and fund the Local Food for Schools (LFS) Program, which previously provided essential financial support to Louisiana school districts for purchasing locally grown food. This program allocated approximately three million dollars annually to Louisiana, benefiting both school food authorities and local farmers by enabling schools to serve fresh, nutritious food sourced from regional producers. The resolution highlights the program's role in fostering partnerships between farmers and schools, enhancing local food systems, and addressing issues of hunger and health in the community.

The discontinuation of the LFS Program has negatively impacted local supply chains and limited access to healthy meals for children in Louisiana. The resolution emphasizes that restoring this program aligns with national health initiatives aimed at improving access to nutritious food and reducing diet-related diseases among children and families. By advocating for the reinstatement of the LFS Program, the resolution seeks to strengthen food security, promote preventive health, and support economic development in Louisiana and beyond.
