The Ongoing Fight To End Hunger In Massachusetts

Massachusetts is one of the wealthiest states in the country, with high average per capita incomes.

And almost 60 percent of those who qualify for SNAP — or food stamps — are families with children.

All this week on WBUR we've been covering the world of food as part of our "Future of Food" series.
