SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) makes healthy diet and lifestyle choices easier for SNAP recipients and people who qualify for SNAP or live in communities with a significant low-income population (50% or greater). LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed staff offer interactive lessons, community-based programs, and health-focused coalitions in nearly 40 parishes across the state. We teach our audience how to eat healthy, stay physically active, and manage food dollars. We also work with local communities to make healthy choices easier by improving places where people live, work, learn, pray, and play. This includes making nutritious food and physical activity easier to access by enhancing local farmers markets, parks and trails, food retailers, school and community gardens, food pantries, and pedestrian and bike infrastructure.
The LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed program had far-reaching impacts across the state in 2024. Below are some highlights from the last year of SNAP-Ed educational programs and Healthy Communities efforts.
