H.R.2489

Hunger-Free Future Act of 2025

Introduced·3/31/25

Prevents the Secretary of Agriculture from updating the thrifty food plan if it increases food insecurity.

The Hunger-Free Future Act of 2025 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to ensure that any updates or reevaluations of the thrifty food plan do not increase food insecurity. This means the cost of the diet must continue to adjust according to specified paragraphs, and the term "food insecurity" refers to households lacking adequate food. The bill aims to protect vulnerable populations from potential negative impacts of changes to the food plan.
