States set high standards for retailers
Feds set standards for EBT certification
Leadership from SHA SNAP state agency contracts w/ Extensions, Universities, health departments, and/or non-profits

What Are More Opportunities?
▲Worksite wellness (Fit Business Kit)▲Child Care (800 + sites)▲Media for kids as well as parents ▲State and policy change for communities that our
families live in
25
What Happens When the CDC Parameters Are Added as Per ARRA?
Strategies MAPPS Methods
↑ Fruits and Veggies Media
↑ Physical Activity Access
↑ Breastfeeding Promotion
↓ Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Price
↓ Calorie-dense, low-nutrient foods
Social Support
↓ Physical Inactivity, “screen time”
↓ Missing: Food Insecurity!
26
SNAP-Ed Policy Levers Needed so SNAP-Ed and WIC Can Do Even More
▲Obesity: Remove limits on range of PA interventions▲Hunger: Ask SNAP-Ed to help increase participation in
all nutrition assistance entitlement programs ▲Access to healthy food: Leverage WIC and SNAP
business relationships, raise EBT standards, build on multiple Let’s Move! farm and ag initiatives
▲Synergy: Require strong coordination and comprehensive, public health approaches in SNAP-Ed Guidance, such as those from ARRA
