Booker, Blunt Rochester Introduce Bicameral Legislation to Scale Up Successful Nutrition Incentive for Fruits and Veggies Nationwide

Press Release

"Currently, millions of Americans are facing a hunger crisis and a nutrition crisis -- not only do they struggle to have enough to eat, but they also lack access to affordable, nutritious foods. GusNIP is a proven solution that improves nutrition and health for some of our nation's most vulnerable. GusNIP is a win-win-win-win for participants, public health, farmers, and local economies. My legislation will make significant investment into GusNIP -- a proven program that works -- and eliminate the partner cost share, so we can exponentially scale up the positive impacts of the program for more American farmers and families."
