The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 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 for Louisiana, fostering partnerships between farmers and schools, and enhancing local food systems that contribute to public health and economic development.

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. It argues that restoring the LFS Program aligns with national health initiatives aimed at improving access to nutritious food and reducing diet-related diseases. The resolution concludes by urging Congress to take action and ensure long-term funding for the program, thereby strengthening food security and supporting local economies in Louisiana and beyond.
