The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. aims to urge 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 improved nutrition and public health for children and communities.

The resolution emphasizes the negative consequences of the program's discontinuation, such as disrupted local supply chains and reduced access to healthy meals for students. 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, thereby addressing diet-related health issues and promoting economic development in Louisiana. The resolution calls for the transmission of its message to key federal officials, including the President and the Secretary of Agriculture, as well as the Louisiana congressional delegation.
