Stanford University’s Center on Food Security and the Environment (FSE) hosts “The Role of SNAP in the U.S. Social Safety Net: Assessing effects on poverty, food insecurity and health,” a lecture by Hilary Hoynes, a professor of public policy and economics at the center who holds the Haas Distinguished Chair in Economic Disparities.
An economist who specializes in poverty, Hoynes will discuss the program – commonly known as “food stamps” – and its role in improving nutrition as well as on food insecurity and health. RSVPs are requested for the Stanford-based event, which runs is scheduled for 3:30-5 p.m.
