Summary

This study gives $20 monthly vouchers to 150 adults at risk of food insecurity in rural North Carolina to use at a mobile produce market. Researchers will measure fruit and vegetable intake, weight, and blood pressure over three months. The goal is to see if making healthy food more affordable and accessible can improve diet and health in underserved communities.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that small vouchers for mobile markets improve diet and reduce food insecurity in rural communities.

What could go wrong
