What is SNAP-Ed:
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Education Program (SNAP-Ed) a national program focused on using evidence-based strategies to increase nutrition and healthy across the lifespan for people who receive or are eligible for SNAP. The Ohio State university is funded to implement this program through Food Nutrition Service, (FNS) a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA in cooperation with Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
To accomplish our goal, we focus on a complementary approach. The first is directed education for our target audience based off the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The second, is to increase food access and physical activity opportunities by assisting in the implementation of Policy Systems and Environment changes. Finally, we created and manage a social marketing campaign Celebrate Your Plate.
