What this bill would do

The Farmers Feeding America Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 and the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983. It aims to make commodities available for the Emergency Food Assistance Program by updating various years and funding amounts. The bill increases specific funding for commodities and adjusts emergency food program amounts. It also establishes new rules for geographically isolated states like Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Additionally, the bill modifies how fresh produce packages are purchased to include factors like variety and distance.
