The study surveyed 780 rural residents and found that people\u2019s experiences with barriers to healthy food varied by race, employment status, and receipt of SNAP benefits. The results show that agricultural communication should be tailored to fit the needs of different groups in rural areas. The study also points out that targeted messages can help reduce food access gaps and support more equitable, health-focused rural food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"916\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/lammlab\/files\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.43.20-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/lammlab\/files\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.43.20-AM.png 916w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/lammlab\/files\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.43.20-AM-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/lammlab\/files\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.43.20-AM-768x583.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the National Association for Agricultural Education meeting held in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Lamm Lab was recognized with the Journal Article of the Year award in the Journal of Agricultural Education.
