Maryland Food Security, Access, and Equity Act aims to improve food access and equity in Maryland.

The Maryland Food Security, Access, and Equity Act seeks to strengthen the state food system by expanding access to healthy foods, supporting local farmers, and coordinating statewide efforts to eliminate food insecurity. The Department of Agriculture will establish a rural-to-urban produce distribution program to connect local farmers with urban and suburban communities experiencing food insecurity. The Act also creates the Maryland Rural-to-Urban Produce Financing Program to fund projects that stabilize and expand the movement of Maryland-grown produce to food-insecure communities.
