New Jersey A3914 establishes a two-year pilot program to increase whole food consumption in school cafeterias.

New Jersey A3914 directs the Department of Agriculture to create the "NJ Whole Food" pilot program, aiming to boost whole food consumption in school cafeterias. The program will run for two school years, focusing on three or more school districts or charter schools. The department will identify suitable schools, engage vendors, hire staff, and purchase equipment. It will also develop methods to measure health, learning, fiscal, and other benefits. The program will expire after the department submits a report to the Legislature, including recommendations for future legislation.
