Schools and Farmers Affected as Trump Administration Ends $1 Billion in Food Assistance Programs

Trump Administration Cuts $1 Billion in Food Assistance Programs, Leaving Schools and Farmers Struggling

The Trump administration has officially cut over $1 billion in federal funding for food assistance programs, removing a critical source of support for schools, food banks, and small farmers across the country. The decision affects two key initiatives: the Local Food for Schools program, which provided fresh food to schools, and the Local Food Purchase Assistance program, which supplied food banks with locally sourced products.

With these programs eliminated, schools will now face greater challenges in feeding students, while food banks may struggle to meet rising demand. Farmers who depended on federal contracts are also at risk, with many warning they could be forced to shut down operations.

The USDA defended the cuts as a return to “long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives,” stating that the programs were initially meant to be temporary. However, with food insecurity rising and food prices remaining high, the loss of funding is expected to have a widespread impact.

According to Feeding America, over 50 million Americans relied on food assistance programs in 2023, a 38 percent increase from 2021. Without federal support, communities will now have to find alternative ways to provide fresh food to schools and low-income families.

The cuts also have political implications. Swing states that helped Trump win the 2024 election are set to lose nearly $178 million in funding for school food programs. States like North Carolina, which was expecting $19 million, now face uncertainty on how to support local farmers and school meal programs.

Farmers and school officials are left scrambling to find new funding sources as the final payments from the eliminated programs are set to run out by June. Many small farm businesses, especially those that supply schools and food banks, could be forced to shut down in the coming months.

With no immediate plans to replace the lost funding, millions of children and families could soon face even greater food insecurity. Whether lawmakers step in to address these concerns remains to be seen.
