USDA asks, is it time for Food Box 2.0? After spending nearly $5.5 billion in 10 months on its Farmers to Families Food Box program, the USDA said on Monday it was open to suggestions on a replacement. By

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said last week the food box program might emerge in a new format because of its success in delivering perishable foods to people isolated from grocery stores, but a decision was yet to be made. The food box program is funded through the end of April in its current form. Some 143.5 million boxes of food have been donated since the program went into operation last May 15, says USDA.
