Expands the FarmSHARE Food Hub Program by appropriating funds to support local farmers and distribute locally grown food to food-insecure individuals.

The bill appropriates $4 million to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for the FarmSHARE Food Hub Program, which supports local farmers and distributes locally grown food to food-insecure individuals. It also allocates $2 million to the North Carolina Farmers Market Network for its Double Up Food Bucks Program, which provides fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets. The Department must report annually on the program's impact, including the number of participants, farmers, and food distributed.
