We the People want good, healthy and affordable food year-round for our families. The People want a strong local food supply, safe, farm-raised, less processed nutritious food. Andy Gipson is convinced that we must end our local and national dependence on foreigners and foreign food and bring back value-added year-round food processing for Mississippi. Gipson’s local food supply and jobs plan will:

a.    Establish three regional Mississippi food processing hubs for the year-round processing, storage and distribution of local food products for local stores, restaurants and consumers;

b.    Recruit and attract private sector food processing and cold storage businesses to these food hubs Mississippi;

c.    Work with the Trump Administration to cut red tape and increase more access to good local food;

d.    Reshore processing and other value-added jobs to Mississippi instead of moving these jobs out of the state or country;

e.    Rebuild Mississippi’s Gulf Coast seafood industry to retain and expand local seafood and related jobs;

f.     Work with our federal delegation and Congress to pass the Northern Gulf Estuary Protection Act, to protect our Mississippi Gulf Coast shrimp, seafood and natural resources from further damage by man-made freshwater intrusion.

g.    End the improper influence of foreign countries, especially Chinese influence, in regards to all aspects of our food supply chain.
