SNAP Food Restrictions: Rationale and State Rollout
Speaker:
Alyssa Moran, deputy director, Center for Food and Nutrition Policy, University of Pennsylvania, This session is offered as part of the weekly series on: "Food and Nutrition Security: Understanding, Measuring and Reimagining Nutrition Assistance in the U.S." If you care about how food-related safety nets succeed—or fail—this seminar offers tools to understand today’s landscape and imagine a better one.
How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system.
