IFB will have at least one food bank in every major settlement with a population of over 5,000 throughout Kalistan. In all cities, with a population of over 500,000 million, IFB will have a District Distribution center as well as two local food banks.

Article 4
IFB will provide food to all Kalistani citizens free of charge. There will never be a need for money in IFB.

Article 5
IFB will stock foods in accord with "healthy food" guidelines from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The food must be nutritious, fresh and whole. Produce, meats, and fish must be fresh, and ripe produce should be made into pies and breads on-site. Grains and cereals may be stocked, but only whole grain flour may be provided in bulk and sugar content of cereals must be under 7 grams a serving. Dried fruits and meats that have not been heavily processed may also be stocked. Dairy and yogurts may also be stocked. The provisions of this article do not apply to any other government food production or distribution operation, including those of private grocers outside of the IFB system.

Article 6
All customers to the IFB will be given literature on healthy eating and the importance of fresh food and vegetables before entering. The method of dissemination of this literature will be determined by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Similarly, taking only a week's worth of food at a time from the food bank will be encouraged, though citizens may come in and leave the food bank whenever needed.

Article 7
IFB will be open and made available 24 hours a day.

Article 8
The only paid employees of IFB to be covered by National Funds will be 15 stockers and checkout personnel, one baker and assistant, three butchers and assistants, and two uniformed police officers per store. Full benefits and pensions will be made available for all workers.

Article 9
Any crimes that occur within IFB, as defined by national, Duchy, or local code shall be punishable by applicable laws.

Article 10
The IFB program will purchase food at market rates from Kalistani farmers. They will start by buying excess produce and other food from producers to stock the IFB directly from farmer cooperatives. The IFB will then compete for non-excess food supplies. After the first year, IFB will develop contracts for supplies with independent Kalistani farmers, Growers' Syndicates and the General Union of Farmers' Federations. Eventually, IFB will take over supply of all produce and commodities from private distributors under the operation of the National Service Program.

Article 11
There will be no sunset for this act. IFB will continue to remain a funding priority in the Kalistani budget as long as this act remains in effect.

Article 12
