The California State University Fresno Foundation will receive $500,000 through the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive nutrition intervention project from September 2022 to September 2025. The intervention aims to reduce food insecurity and diet-related chronic disease in Fresno, California by emphasizing increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. GusNIP provides funding to projects that increase access to fresh produce among low-income populations, so this award is consistent with the program's goal of enhancing food security and nutrition for vulnerable communities.
