according to the usda, food insecurity did not increase. here's what i'm asking you to kor today that. you draft a bipartisan farm bill to strengthen the federal nutrition program, have policy changes that build on lessons learned in the pandemic and remove red tape to simplify program access and operations. specifically i ask that you strengthen funding, as demand for food remains high at food banks, a reliable, continuous stream of food is essential. congress should increase funding to $500 million in mandatory funding for food purchases for tfap. this will ensure the flow of foods remains steady throughout the network and support the u.s. agricultural economy as other programs are dwindling. protect snap funding and structure while addressing systematic barriers to benefits. snap is our best defense against hunger. it is the most effective, efficient way to ensure people access to foods they need and want. the farm bill must strengthen snap and any cuts to the program cannot be made off local food bank. we are already concerned about how
