Abstract: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers 16 domestic food and nutrition assistance programs that affect the lives of millions of people and represent roughly two-thirds of USDA’s annual budget. Together, these programs accounted for $147.9 billion in USDA spending in fiscal year (FY) 2025 (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025). This report provides an overview of program trends and policy changes in USDA’s largest domestic food and nutrition assistance programs through FY 2025 based on preliminary data from the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). It also includes a summary of recent USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) research reports relevant to these programs.
