SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Community

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Dramatic economic, demographic, and land use changes in 
        the United States have created areas where no supermarkets 
        exist and where limited food choice and lack of affordable food 
        prices impact large segments of the country's population.
            (2) Demographic changes have opened pockets of arable land 
        for agriculture in America's cities.
            (3) Diversifying United States food production from a 
        globally consolidated and industrial food chain to one which 
        includes local production represents an important opportunity 
        to strengthen United States agriculture.
            (4) With poverty rising due to chronic unemployment and 
        with food becoming a more significant component of family 
        budgets, local production becomes an important option for 
        families facing food insecurity.
            (5) It is estimated that 18.5 percent of American 
        households have refrained from making necessary food purchases 
        due to economic circumstances, and many of these households 
        reside in ethnically and racially diverse communities.
            (6) Food insecurity, epidemic levels of obesity, 
        hypertension, diabetes and youth osteoporosis are caused by 
        improper nutrition in food deserts without nutritious, 
        reliable, and locally available healthy food options.
            (7) Advances in agricultural practices makes production 
        possible in regions previously cordoned off from such 
        opportunity.
            (8) With studies suggesting that much of the American west 
        is becoming permanently more arid and 40 percent of all fresh 
        water resources in the United States are used for irrigation, 
        the need for more efficient food production and agriculture 
        closer to point of consumption is critical.
            (9) Concentration in agricultural production and 
        outsourcing have exacerbated the food insecurity of many 
        communities.
            (10) In 2009, the Economic Research Service of the 
        Department of Agriculture reported that 2.4 million households 
        live more than a mile from a supermarket and do not have access 
        to a motor vehicle.
            (11) Because these Americans are without access to a motor 
        vehicle with which to reach supermarkets located more than a 
        mile away from their homes, and there is no accessible local 
        farm production, vast segments of communities are now described 
        as ``food deserts''.
            (12) The majority of youth in the United States have little 
        knowledge of simple agricultural practices and the benefits of 
        a diet that includes the consumption of fresh fruits and 
        vegetables.
            (13) Two million, two hundred four thousand, seven hundred 
        ninety-two farms were in operation in 2007, including 300,000 
        new farms that began operations with smaller less consolidated 
        operations and lower sales than the average of all farms 
        nationwide.
            (14) Rising fuel costs make transporting food long 
        distances significantly more expensive, but create 
        opportunities for the economical production of food closer to 
        point of consumption.
            (15) From 1999 to 2010, the value of imported food products 
        to the United States increased over 100 percent from 
        $40,700,000,000 to $86,100,000,000, which has led to a growing 
        reliance on foreign-produced food, particularly during cold 
        seasons, as diminished options exist for locally produced fresh 
        and affordable choices.
            (16) Expanding production and access to locally produced 
        food strengthens the vital link between healthy populations, 
        sustainable living, and the natural world.
            (17) According to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, direct and indirect medical costs associated with 
        obesity and diabetes in the United States are more than $300 
        billion.
            (18) Expanding access to food for populations that suffer 
        from shortages of nutritious food involves regional food 
        production in communities where the link between daily life and 
        the environment has been all but eliminated.
            (19) Many tools exist to empower communities toward local 
        food production to break the cycle of food insecurity: For 
        example, by the end of World War II, over 20,000,000 home 
        gardens were supplying 40 percent of domestically consumed 
        produce.
            (20) There was a 16-percent increase in the number of 
        operating farmers markets in the United States between 2009 to 
        2010 according to the Agricultural Marketing Service of the 
        Department of Agriculture.
            (21) Promoting the many different forms of agriculture, 
        both consolidated, industrial agriculture and small scale, 
        decentralized agriculture, is beneficial to serving many 
        different needs in a diverse society.
            (22) In 2007, 247,772 farms harvested 39,259,592 acres of 
        specialty crops and produced $67,417,397,000 worth of food 
        products, which, if expanded to include production in food 
        deserts across the country, has the potential to provide 
        investment and improved nutrition to communities and reinvent 
        landscapes that lack sufficient access to food.
            (23) In the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 
        (Public Law 110-246), Congress provided the Department of 
        Agriculture with sufficient flexibility in implementing certain 
        programs to promote locally based agricultural enterprises, 
        including a 5-percent set-aside for business and industry loan 
        program for underserved communities, significant increases for 
        the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program that links local 
        producers and consumers, an expanded authorization for the Farm 
        to School Program, and new legal requirements allowing 
        flexibility in local purchase by some nutrition programs.
    (b) Intent of Congress.--It is the intent of Congress--
            (1) to establish and augment authorities to engage in local 
        community agricultural production, combat food insecurity, and 
        reduce the United States reliance on imported agricultural 
        products;
            (2) to pursue better coordination to empower communities 
        and their residents to engage in community agriculture, 
        purchase and produce food locally, create sustainable food 
        systems, and better connect the existing programs that can and 
        should be used to alleviate pockets of hunger and severe food 
        insecurity;
            (3) to work with the various State agencies responsible for 
        administering the Federal nutrition programs on methods and 
        strategies for using Federal food dollars to create local food 
        production platforms and micro-enterprise development in areas 
        where these nutrition programs are accessed; and
            (4) to develop a unified strategy toward greater self-
        sufficiency by using Federal nutrition programs as a tool for 
        economic development in communities, even in regions that have 
        not traditionally been centers for food production where human 
        need is evident.
