Asking Congress to reauthorize and expand the Healthy Milk Incentives Projects program is first on the list.

Nutrition and wellness, global competitiveness, and sustainability are among the main goals for the future.

Serving those who most need it makes sense.

The HFMI program, a result of the 2018 Farm Bill, uses incentives to encourage Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, participants to buy and consume qualifying milk as part of a healthy, balanced diet. 

For decades, the federal government has worked to ensure all Americans are “food secure,” which simply means that everyone — regardless of economic circumstances — should have enough food to eat. 

The Add Milk! pilot project, created in the 2018 USDA farm bill, is designed to research whether incentive programs for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will increase the consumption of healthy fluid milk among SNAP recipients, according to The Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty (Baylor University).
