Trump administration cancels key hunger and food insecurity reports, raising concerns over hidden rural and national hunger issues
Originally Published 3 months ago — by The Conversation
The Trump administration announced it will stop releasing the comprehensive food insecurity data collected by the USDA, which has been tracking Americans' access to sufficient food since 1995. This decision raises concerns about the transparency and understanding of hunger and food access issues in the U.S., as no other current survey provides a complete measure of food insecurity, potentially hindering policy responses and aid efforts.
