Cultivating Opportunity Through Farm to School Efforts

Serving local foods in school meals, planting edible gardens, and providing nutrition education in classrooms has taken root nationwide. Farm to school activities re-connect students to their food, re-nourish local economies, and re-inspire the next generation of healthy eaters. This session will highlight best practices from the USDA Farm to School Grant Program. Attendees will also explore garden-focused resources available from USDA, State agencies, and partner organizations to enhance farm to school efforts in child care and school settings.
