The proposed bill aims to support Washington's agricultural community, which is recognized as the state's second largest economic driver. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how policy decisions impact agriculture and seeks to promote a stable food supply by maintaining a healthy agricultural economy. The bill outlines the state's responsibility to improve and coordinate agricultural plans and resources while ensuring that regulatory environments do not hinder farmers' ability to produce and sell their products. Key objectives include promoting agriculture while protecting public health, providing opportunities for land use, and preserving the historical and cultural aspects of agriculture.

Additionally, the bill establishes a mechanism for assessing the fiscal impact of proposed legislation on agricultural entities. The director of financial management is tasked with creating fiscal notes that detail the potential regulatory costs associated with new legislation affecting agriculture. These notes will provide insights into the financial implications for the agricultural economy over the first two years and include a six-year cumulative forecast. The bill is officially titled the Food Economics, Availability, and Security Over Time (FEAST) Act and introduces new sections to Title 43 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW).
