Farm Bill Platforms from the Field - Strengthening Food and Nutrition Security
Wednesday, April 19th, 2:00 pm Eastern
Cosponsored by Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF)
The nutrition title of the farm bill authorizes several essential food assistance programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP), and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). The 2023 Farm Bill is a critical opportunity for Congress to improve these and other nutrition title programs and safeguard the right of every human being to eat and be nourished regardless of economic circumstances.
Leaders from the field convened for a conversation with experts from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), Fair Food Network, and the Bipartisan Policy Center, who provided insight into the current nutrition policy landscape in Congress, the priorities each organization is advocating for in the 2023 Farm Bill, and how funders can support efforts to strengthen food and nutrition security in communities across the country. Speakers included Joelle Johnson of CSPI, Mark Nicholson of Fair Food Network, and Anand Parekh of the Bipartisan Policy Center.
