\nKentucky’s agriculture commissioner has announced an initiative to combat hunger among children during the summer.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles on Monday unveiled a plan to create an economic incentive for summer meal programs to buy fruit and vegetables produced in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The initiative was announced at the Kentucky Fruit and Vegetable Conference in Lexington.<\/p>\n

Quarles says the program is funded by a grant from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board and administered by the Kentucky Association of Food Banks.<\/p>\n

Quarles formed a Hunger Task Force in 2016 to delve into the problem at a time when food banks were struggling to keep up with demand. The panel has held meetings around Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Quarles has said that it’s unacceptable to have a hunger problem in a state with a rich agricultural history.
