Throughout the West, myriad efforts are underway to expand youngsters access to fresh, locally grown food.
The University of California Cooperative Extension and its community partners have received nearly $500,000 from the state Department of Food and Agriculture to expand farm-to-school projects.
The CDFA Office of Farm to Fork s 2021 California Farm to School Incubator Grant Program has awarded $8.496 million in grants to 60 farm-to-school projects throughout the state, including a pair of UC Cooperative Extension projects.
Farm-to-school programs are far from just a California thing, however. For instance, Montana schools projects will be highlighted at the Montana Farm to School Summit in August.
