Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education through the Land-Grant University System. SNAP-Ed FY2019: A Retrospective Review of Land-Grant University SNAP-Ed Programs and Impacts
Yetter, Dylan; Tripp, Simon
SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a signature federal program that in FY2019 provided financial assistance to 35 million low-income Americans. SNAP is a focused program that increases food access, reduces hunger, and improves the nutrition and health of low-income American families. It is in the interest of the nation and individuals that SNAP recipients be equipped with evidence-based information to guide the selection of healthy food purchases with their SNAP benefits and to engage in food preparation practices and behaviors that lead to improved health and quality of life outcomes. The provision of this information is accomplished through a formal SNAP-Education (SNAP-Ed) program. The United States' unique system of land-grant universities plays a central role in the delivery of SNAP-Ed across the nation. Land-grant universities (LGUs) are the home to Cooperative Extension, a long-standing outreach system that delivers educational content and best-practice knowledge to individuals and families at a local level. The report are the results of a detailed survey administered to the LGUs engaged in SNAP-Ed. The Community Nutrition Education (CNE) Logic Model was used as the foundation for collecting data for this report, similar to the previous reports generated for the LGU System. The goal of the FY2019 report is to provide a national "snapshot" of SNAP-Ed programs implemented through the LGU system. [The report was prepared by TEConomy Partners, LLC. It was prepared at the request of Cooperative Extension Service Directors/Administrators through the National Land-Grant University SNAP-Ed Assessment.

A Retrospective Review of Land-Grant University SNAP-Ed Programs and Impacts."]
