    How would adding tree nuts to the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program change which seniors benefit most, given that nuts are often more expensive than other produce?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that tree nuts address nutritional gaps in current senior diets compared to other foods that could be added to the program?

  3. 03

    If states must expand the program without new federal funding, how might individual state budgets absorb the cost of additional tree nut purchases?
