Can extra cash for Farmers' markets boost family nutrition?

This study looked at whether giving low-income families in British Columbia more money to spend at farmers' markets helps them eat better and feel more food secure. About 276 parents and their children were split into three groups, receiving either the usual $27 per week or higher amounts of $54 or $81 per week in coupons for 16 weeks. Researchers measured diet quality and food security before, during, and after the program to see if the extra support made a difference.
