The Farm Bill is was signed into law in early February 2014.
The legislation cuts $4.5 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), while continuing funding for SNAP’s Nutrition Education Program, community food projects, farmer’s markets, fruit and vegetable research, and SNAP incentive initiatives. The bill also includes authorizing language that would allow USDA to fund up to $125 million for the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, which supports public-private partnerships that increase access to healthy, affordable food in underserved communities.
