Nutrition educators support nutrition incentives for programs to promote increased intake of fruit and vegetables

The Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP), run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, includes Nutrition Incentive (NI) and Produce Prescription (PPR) programs. These programs provide financial incentives for healthy eating by increasing individuals’ purchase and consumption of fruits and vegetables and reducing food insecurity in order to prevent and treat nutrition-related diseases.
