Farm to school activities include a combination of school gardening, local procurement, and hands-on education on the topics of food, nutrition, and agriculture. This takes place in the school garden, the classroom, and the cafeteria.
The learning spaces that offer farm to school activities include schools, early childhood education facilities, and alternative learning environments.
Farm to school activities improve public health, strengthen the local economy and communities, improve food access and food abundance for all, and protect the environment.
