Florida has launched a $38 million statewide initiative called Farmers Feeding Florida, aimed at connecting local farmers with families facing food insecurity. The program, supported by Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, Senate President Ben Albritton, and State Representative Jason Brodeur, seeks to provide more than just meals by offering a "hand up, not a handout" to struggling families. Albritton emphasized the program's importance in helping families with dignity, describing it as both a moral and biblical imperative. In addition to this initiative, Florida farmers have made environmental progress by reducing phosphorus levels by 62% from the baseline this year. Meanwhile, Commissioner Simpson highlighted the need for long-term solutions to homelessness through job training and community partnerships. Separately, Representative Kat Cammack expressed support for the bipartisan SEAS Act, which aims to bolster food security and support aquaculture and seafood producers in coastal communities.
