SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federally funded program that provides food benefits to low-income families to supplement their grocery budget so they can afford the nutritious food, like fresh fruits and vegetables, essential to health and well-being.

From SNAP benefit reform and fraud crackdown to the continuation of mass deportations with “no amnesty,” here’s how the USDA’s newly launched National Farm Security Action Plan may impact the fresh produce industry.
