- Abstract:
- Over the last decade, nutrition incentive programs to increase the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods by low-income residents have grown throughout New York State. These programs are funded and administered by different entities and vary in how they operate, including eligibility requirements, geographic availability, distribution method, and incentive amount. To date, there has been no comprehensive inventory of nutrition incentive programs in New York State, and comparative information is limited. To help fill these gaps, this report provides a high-level profile of many of the existing programs and next steps for their continued development. The report also offers recommendations on how to make it easier for New Yorkers to participate in these programs and the need for a comprehensive evaluation to identify best practices for greater participation and more purchasing of healthier foods.
