SB 907 (Pan) Local Equitable Access to Food (LEAF) is a win-win for California: this bill will not only support our small and mid-sized farmers, it will alsohelp low-income families access fresh, nutritious food at their local farmers’ markets.

More background on SB 907 

Summary of SB 907 (Pan):

  • SB 907 (Pan) Local Equitable Access to Food (LEAF) addresses food insecurity by improving access to healthy foods for all California families, while also increasing the number of farmers’ markets throughout the state. 
  • This bill makes it easier for certified farmers’ markets in California to provide electronic benefits transfer (EBT) services and increases CalFresh access at farmers’ markets.
  • We need to fully fund SB 907 to ensure all California families have equitable access to local, affordable, and healthy food regardless of income by supporting Senator Dr. Pan’s budget push for a one-time $60 million budget allocation over a three-year period to create the LEAF program.

Toolkit Focus:

  • We need our partners to call on the budget chairs and state leadership urging them to fully fund SB 907 (Pan), the Local Equitable Access to Food (LEAF) Program, in this year’s budget and include $60 million over the next three years.
