The U.S. Department of Agriculture has cut local food programs that schools, farmers and food banks have relied on.

The article from WBUR's Here & Now, published on May 14, 2025, discusses the significant impact of recent USDA funding cuts on food banks across the United States. These cuts, amounting to a reduction of over $1 billion, have forced many food banks to scale back their operations and services at a time when demand for food assistance remains high due to ongoing economic challenges. The article highlights the struggles of food bank directors, who are now facing difficult decisions about how to allocate their limited resources. It also features interviews with affected families, illustrating the real-life consequences of these cuts, such as increased food insecurity and hardship. Additionally, the piece touches on the broader policy debate surrounding federal nutrition programs and the future of food assistance in America.
