SDSN USA’s Zero Hunger Working Group brought together a cross-disciplinary group of experts on hunger and nutrition on Monday, March 29 for the Zero Hunger Pathways Project Dialogue 1: Improving Health and Nutrition Outcomes through SNAP. This dialogue was the first in a series of conversations focusing on barriers and opportunities to achieve Zero Hunger in the United States, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This project seeks to find solutions to hunger in the U.S. that are healthy, equitable, and sustainable, and through this open discussion with experts and stakeholders, a list of recommendations for SNAP improvements was discussed in detail, with new sources to consider and refinements proposed. Moving forward, the group plans to engage with federal policymakers and practitioners while the issue of hunger is at the forefront of the COVID-recovery planning process.
