SEC. 307. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND DEPARTMENT OF 
AGRICULTURE PROCUREMENT OF LOCALLY 
PRODUCED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Locally procured agricultural products, as 
compared to products transported from distant 
sources— 
(A) are often harvested closer to full ripe-
ness and can have higher nutritional quality; 
(B) can have improved ripeness, taste, or 
selection, which can increase rates of consump-
tion of agricultural products; and 
(C) are more efficient to store, distribute, 
and package. 
(2) Use of local produce— 
(A) reduces dependence upon foreign oil by 
reducing fuel consumption rates associated with 
the production or transportation of agricultural 
products; 
(B) can help to improve the ability of those 
using the procurement system to provide edu-
cation on nutrition, farming, sustainability, en-
ergy efficiency, and the importance of local pur-
chases to the local economy;
