The bill aims to establish a comprehensive strategy for statewide food security in Washington, focusing on ending hunger, reducing diet-related environmental health disparities, and enhancing agricultural sustainability and resilience. The Department of Agriculture is tasked with developing this strategy in collaboration with various state departments, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations. The strategy will define food security in terms of access and affordability, identify barriers to farming, and promote urban agriculture, among other objectives.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific areas that the strategy must address, including agricultural resilience, consumer empowerment for healthy food access, and the integration of nutrition and health. The Department of Agriculture is required to submit the completed strategy to the legislature by July 1, 2027. Both sections of the bill include an expiration date of July 1, 2028, indicating a timeline for the implementation and review of the proposed food security strategy.
