Public health experts say Farm Bill changes will increase hunger in U.S.
The American Public Health Association (APHA) says the House Agriculture Committee’s draft Farm Bill proposal will leave many lower-income Americans hungry.
“As it stands, millions in our country already don’t have access to enough food, or to the healthy food that can help a community thrive,” said Georges Benjamin, MD, APHA executive director. This is not the time for Congress to weaken SNAP benefits and take food away from families that need it.”
