Why Focus on Rural Communi*es? Why SNAP-Ed?
• WhyFocusonRural?:Individualslivinginruralareasaremorelikelytobeobeseandeatfewerfruitsandvegetablesthanthoselivinginurbanareas.
• WhySNAP-Ed?:SNAP-EdisafederallyfundednutriLoneducaLonprogramthatisavailableinmanyareasofmoststates,andisaresourceforruralareas.
