Farm-to-School programs have proliferated, especially in California the last few years.

The Yolo County Farm-to-School program showcases many of these successful marketing strategies. Learn more about successful marketing strategies as well as evaluation results of the first four years of the program.

Can Social Marketing Increase Enrollment in the Food Stamp Program?

Diana Cassady, DrPH

In California only 50% of eligible families participate in the Food Stamp Program. Previous research shows that a variety of barriers prevent low-income, working families from enrolling, including a lack of awareness about the program. Social marketing strategies were used to develop an outreach program targeting working families and using grocery stores as the outreach location. This talk will highlight findings from the project, including audience research, outreach strategies, proportion of approved applications, and customer satisfaction with the application process.
