Nutrition Incentives

In the United States, food is the third-largest household expense, after housing and transportation. Families with low incomes spend more than a third of their disposable income on food. People with limited resources have to make difficult food choices — and for many, fruits and vegetables are out of reach.

We believe that affordable, nutritious food is a fundamental right. At $80 billion per year, SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) is the largest federal investment in our food and farming systems. Our work supporting nutrition incentives ensures that those dollars provide fresh, locally grown food options for communities across the country.
