Our food systems cannot function without workers. So why are so many exploited?
Low pay. Unsafe work. Insecure jobs. Wage theft. Forced labour.
Our new #FoodWork report exposes the exploitation running through the global food chain, and how to end it.

The evidence is clear: SNAP improves food security, nutrition, health, and well-being.
A new FRAC report examines the research on SNAP’s impact across the life course and how recent policy changes threaten these gains. Read: bit.ly/4xF5NhQ
The latest #SNAP data show a troubling decline: 5.5M people have lost SNAP since H.R. 1 was enacted in July 2025, and participation is down 6.3M people since January 2025.

New: In the 10 months after the Republican reconciliation law enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history, SNAP enrollment fell by roughly 5 million people. The number of people receiving SNAP is at its lowest point in 17 years & is expected to keep falling. cbpp.org/research/food-assis…
