Historic updates were made in 2021 to the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP), which is used to set the monthly benefits for households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The updates were intended to more accurately reflect the cost of a healthy, nutritious diet, given modern realities and new research. A year later, have the changes better aligned SNAP benefit levels with the program's mission of increasing food security and reducing hunger? Do the changes account for culturally appropriate market baskets, realistic time expectations for shopping and meal preparation, and transportation and food access challenges? This panel discussion features a robust and diverse panel of RDNs who will describe recent revisions to the TFP, share how modernization of SNAP benefits has impacted the communities that they work in, and propose additional SNAP strategies and policies to ensure equitable access to nutritious foods for low-income Americans.
