2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 4 - Agriculture and Domestic Animals|Section 4:10-25.4 - Findings, declarations, determinations relative to provision of fresh produce to urban communities.

4:10-25.4 Findings, declarations, determinations relative to provision of fresh produce to urban communities.  2. a. The Legislature finds and declares that there are certain urban areas of the State, known as "food desert" communities, in which residents are unable to obtain reasonable and adequate access to nutritious foods and, in particular, to fresh fruits and vegetables; that the inaccessibility of nutritious food in urban food desert communities has been attributed, in large part, to the absence therein of supermarkets, grocery stores, and farmers' markets and the prevalence therein of businesses like liquor stores and convenience marts, which provide convenient and affordable access only to pre-processed foods, generally high in empty calories, sugar, unhealthy preservatives, and harmful fats, and low in nutritional value; that low-income families are more likely than others to live in urban food desert communities and to lack the transportation or financial resources necessary to reach distant wholesome markets; that, as is evidenced by the work of various non-profit and private entities across the United States, the accessibility to, desire for, and use of, fresh produce by residents of urban food desert communities can be improved through the provision of mobile farmers' markets, which regularly travel to and from these communities, and which provide fresh produce to residents situated therein; and that the institution of a mobile farmers' market initiative is a reasonable means by which to ensure that residents of urban food desert communities in the State are provided with reasonable access to nutritious, fresh, and delicious produce, and are afforded the opportunity thereby to make healthier eating choices for themselves and for their families. b. The Legislature therefore determines that it is both reasonable and necessary to authorize the Department of Agriculture to develop and assist in the implementation of a pilot program to establish a mobile farmers' market initiative that will provide a consistent, and easily accessible, source of fresh produce to residents in urban food desert communities in municipalities selected to participate in the pilot program. L.2011, c.223, s.2.
NJ Rev Stat § 4:10-25.7 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 4 - Agriculture and Domestic Animals|Section 4:10-25.7 - Identification, recruitment of vendors.

4:10-25.7 Identification, recruitment of vendors.  5. a. The department shall work with participating municipalities to identify and recruit appropriate and qualified persons to serve as vendors to provide fresh produce for sale to residents in urban food desert communities in participating municipalities. b. In implementing subsection a. of this section, the department shall use to the maximum extent practicable in-State produce farmers, collaborative farmers' organizations, or private, non-profit, or governmental entities that are engaged in fresh produce rescue efforts, such as the New Jersey Agricultural Society in its "Farmers Against Hunger" program and the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks, which is the network of food banks which exist in New Jersey. The department shall encourage the State's produce farmers and other entities to participate in the initiative as fresh mobile vendors. The department shall make reasonable efforts to ensure, through the adoption of appropriate regulatory requirements or otherwise, that a consistent, year-round supply of reasonably priced fresh produce, sufficient to satisfy the fresh produce needs of residents in the urban food desert communities in the participating municipalities, will be made available by the fresh mobile vendors recruited to participate in the pilot program. In the event that in-State produce farmers are unable to meet the needs of residents in the designated communities, the secretary may recruit out-of-State produce farmers to meet those needs.

The department may adopt rules and regulations as necessary to facilitate the acceptance of low-income food vouchers by fresh mobile vendors in accordance with subsection b. of this section and paragraph (1) of subsection b. of section 4 of this act.
