Pennsylvania Sues USDA Over Termination of $13 Million Food Aid Program
Pennsylvania Sues USDA: In June 2025, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), claiming that the abrupt termination of its $13 million Local Food Purchasing Assistance (LFPA) Program agreement violated federal law and harmed the state’s food supply infrastructure. The LFPA Program, launched as a pandemic relief initiative, was intended to strengthen local agricultural supply chains while addressing food insecurity. According to Governor Josh Shapiro, the USDA’s termination of the agreement cut vital support for 189 local farms and left thousands of vulnerable families without access to nutritious food.
