Leadership and Policies

Vision

We envision a future for Arkansas in which every school and community provides a healthy environment for every child. We foresee leaders at every level who have developed supportive policies and programs, effective marketing, and streamlined communication and procurement processes to make farm to school an integrated cultural norm. As a result, Arkansas children no longer struggle with obesity, schools and school gardens are seen as community assets, Arkansas growers are sustainable, supported, and more abundant, and every Arkansan has greater access to good health, a vibrant community, economic prosperity, a clean environment, and social justice.

• Schools: K-12 schools, early childhood education facilities, and alternative learning environments.

• Participate: provide programming or an activity once per year.
