Establishes a New York state food security purchase and processing program to buy and process food grown by New York farmers and distribute it to.

The New York state food security purchase and processing act creates a program to purchase food grown or raised by New York farmers, requires processing within the state, and distributes the food to communities facing food insecurity. The program aims to support local farmers, ensure food is processed in-state, and provide food to underserved communities. The Department of Agriculture and Markets will prioritize proposals involving small to mid-sized farms and processors, and support for historically underserved producers.
