Question about project 2025

How will it affect the food supply

Answer

The document discusses the potential of a future administration making significant changes to programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is what most people would recognize as "food stamps", and the Thrifty Food Plan. This would significantly harm poor people's ability to afford healthy food, as it seeks to decrease access to the very programs that provide them with it. It could potentially be harder to get access to those programs, potentially putting those at risk, and likely harming Black and brown communities that rely heavily on those programs. In a very basic form, a higher percentage of food that is grown could be wasted due to farmers being at higher risk, and people at risk of starvation and homelessness could potentially have to move elsewhere to be taken care of, creating further challenges on other communities that aren't properly prepared. There are several different things that could impact access to healthy food, all of which are a disaster waiting to happen. "Project 2025" may create increased hunger and a decreased food supply.
