This bill amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to reauthorize the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program through FY2023. (The program is administered by the Department of Agriculture and awards grants to states, U.S. territories, and Indian tribal governments to provide low-income seniors with coupons that can be exchanged for eligible foods at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and community supported agriculture programs.)
