Connecticut nutrition educators are bracing for major cuts after President Donald Trump’s newly passed spending bill eliminates all federal funding for SNAP-Ed programs beginning Oct. 1. The $4.6 million cut puts dozens of jobs at risk and threatens food access, obesity prevention, and outreach programs statewide. UConn and the Hispanic Health Council say staff layoffs are imminent and low-income families will lose vital nutrition support. Program leaders call the move devastating, warning of long-term health consequences and increased food insecurity.
