Hunger-Free Future Act of 2025

Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.

Bill 119 hr 2489, also known as the "Food Security Act," aims to prevent the Secretary of Agriculture from making any changes to the thrifty food plan under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 that would lead to an increase in food insecurity. The thrifty food plan is used to determine the amount of benefits provided to individuals and families through programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).

The bill is designed to ensure that any updates or reevaluations of the thrifty food plan do not inadvertently harm those who rely on these benefits to access nutritious food. By prohibiting any changes that could result in increased food insecurity, the bill seeks to protect vulnerable populations from experiencing hunger or inadequate access to food.

This legislation is important in addressing the issue of food insecurity in the United States and ensuring that government programs continue to support those in need. It highlights the importance of considering the impact of policy decisions on the well-being of individuals and families who rely on assistance programs for their basic needs.
