Abstract
Food-based safety net programs provide
food, either directly, or through instruments (such as food
stamps or coupons) that may be used to purchase food. More
generally, these programs serve a variety of purposes and
are designed to ensure livelihoods, to increase purchasing
power, or to relieve deprivation and improve nutritional
status, perhaps through the direct provision of food.
