The Trump administration has announced a decision to cease collecting data regarding food insecurity programs. This action follows recent funding cuts allocated to agencies responsible for monitoring and evaluating food assistance efforts. The decision is part of a broader strategy to streamline administrative processes and reduce overall spending. The administration cited concerns about the efficiency of the data collection and potential for misuse, although the precise reasons remain unclear. The change will impact the ability to assess the effectiveness of existing programs and identify areas for improvement.
