Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Cathey establishes the Agricultural-Based National Security Priorities Task Force in Louisiana. This task force aims to address vulnerabilities in the state's agricultural supply chains, which are critical for food production and rural economies. The resolution highlights the importance of Louisiana's diverse agriculture industry and the need to strengthen domestic supply chains and farm security in light of global disruptions and geopolitical competition. The task force is tasked with studying farm security, domestic supply chain resilience, and proposing legislative recommendations to support farmers and food production by March 21, 2027.

The task force will consist of various members, including representatives from the Senate and House Committees on Agriculture, industry leaders, and officials from the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, among others. It will consider specific issues such as the enforcement of laws limiting agricultural land purchases by foreign entities, vulnerabilities related to technology, securing farm labor, and incentives for domestic agricultural input production. The task force is expected to convene by October 21, 2026, and will operate without compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements. It will dissolve upon submitting its report or by the specified termination date.
