Establishes a three-year pilot program for public school-based community canneries in South Carolina.

The bill establishes a three-year pilot program for public school-based community canneries in South Carolina. These canneries will allow community members to bring locally-grown produce to be canned for personal use. The State Board of Education, in collaboration with the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, will oversee the program, which includes providing community training in food preservation using canning methods. The pilot program will be tested in three selected school districts from 2026 through 2029.
