The bill aims to develop a comprehensive statewide food security strategy in Washington to address hunger, reduce environmental health disparities, and enhance agricultural sustainability and resilience. It mandates the Department of Agriculture to collaborate with various state agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations to create this strategy. 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 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, with the entire section set to expire on July 1, 2028.
