The Local School Foods Expansion Act of 2025 amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, transforming a pilot into a permanent program for procuring domestically grown unprocessed fruits and vegetables for school meals. This expansion aims to improve the nutritional content of school lunches by integrating fresh, local produce. The bill increases the number of participating states from 8 to 14, with selection criteria prioritizing states committed to supporting small, local, and socially disadvantaged farmers , as well as Tribal agricultural producers . States serving a high proportion of children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds will also be favored. The Act mandates a comprehensive evaluation of the program's impact, assessing procurement, benefits to school food service, and economic effects on agricultural producers, with a report to Congress. To fund these initiatives, $25,000,000 is appropriated annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with specific reservations for participating states' administrative costs and technical assistance, and for technical assistance to non-participating states.
