Recently, Ohio Congressman Steve Stivers helped launch a new program in Ohio that would help provide more opportunities for fresh foods to areas on the state that are far away from stores that have fresh food available. The Healthy Food for Ohio Program (HFFO) would direct money to vendors, from co-ops and farmers markets to independent stores to build up business in undeserved areas known as "food deserts".
