3 What is Farm to School? Serve regionally and locally produced foods in school meals Connect students to the food they eat through nutrition and agriculture education School gardens Ag in the Classroom, Taste-tests, etc. Farm Field Trips Efforts vary across communities Growing demand from around the country
4 Why Farm to School? Connecting kids to agriculture Economic opportunities for farmers and rural communities Providing fresh, healthy foods to school children
5 The benefits are vast for kids, for schools, for producers, and local economies and communities. Kathleen Merrigan Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
6 History of Farm to School at USDA
7 Recent History 1997: USDA began a comprehensive effort to connect small farms to the school meal programs Early on several publications were issued
8 Recent History (cont.) 2008: Farm Bill gave more flexibility in procurement Geographic Preference Option 2009: USDA Farm to School Team established 2010: Child Nutrition Reauthorization Farm to School Grants
9 Geographic Preference Option 2008 Farm Bill amended NSLA to allow institutions receiving CNP funds to apply a geographic preference for unprocessed locally grown or raised agricultural products Unprocessed = agricultural products that retain their inherent character See final rule for definition
10 Geographic Preference Option (cont.) Final Rule published April 22, Implementation Guidance: Policy Memo SP (issued 2/1/11), Procurement Geographic Preference Q&As Procurement FAQs on USDA s Farm to School website

16 Areas of Interest School s Food Service Infrastructure Farm to School Implementation and Promotion Procurement Process Farm to School Education Food Safety Impact and Evaluation Local, State and Federal Policy Farmers Perspective
17 Common Challenges and Opportunities
18 Overall Lessons Learned Efforts vary across communities Take advantage of local resources Don t need to recreate the wheel Keys to success: Communication & coordination Community partnerships Networking opportunities, i.e. national and regional conferences, stakeholder meeting, buyer/grower meeting, etc.
19 Food Service Infrastructure Examples of Challenges Lack of staff Lack of culinary skills Lack of storage and equipment Examples of Opportunities Assess which products should be purchased based on staff & storage Match labor-intensive local food items w/ easy-toprepare center of the plate items Look to the entire district for available storage; not just individual schools
20 Implementation & Promotion Examples of Challenges Unfamiliar with where to begin Unsure of how to connect with local farmers Examples of Opportunities Go slow and start small Start with the most receptive schools Contact your local agriculture extension office Visit farmers markets
21 Examples of Challenges Procurement Understanding of general procurement regulations and implementing the geographic preference option Local supply may be inconsistent Examples of Opportunities Work with your State agency for procurement assistance Consult the USDA s Farm to School website Create menus with seasonality in mind Be flexible and have a plan B if the local farmer is unable to supply
22 Education Examples of Challenges Lack of easy to implement curriculum Disconnect between education efforts and school food service Examples of Opportunities Connect with FFA or 4H programs Consult the USDA Farm to School website for materials Reinforce classroom lessons in the cafeteria
23 Food Safety Examples of Challenges Directors feel ill-equipped to certify the safety of local farms and their products Expense of GAP certification Examples of Opportunities Contact your local agriculture extension office Many have self-assessment/self-audit instruments National GAP Network for Education and Training State Department of Agriculture for GAP training
24 Impact and Evaluation Examples of Challenges Unaware of evaluation resources Lack of time and funding to conduct evaluations Examples of Opportunities USDA Farm to School and National Agriculture Library websites for examples of evaluation tools Look to nonprofit organizations (e.g., AmeriCorps VISTA) for assistance
25 Local, State & Federal Policy Examples of Challenges Defining local Lack of Farm to School support in local wellness policies Examples of Opportunities Consider a tiered approach to defining local USDA s Team Nutrition website gives examples of local wellness policies Involve nonprofit organizations and food policy councils
26 Farmers Perspective Examples of Challenges Seasonality Capacity to meet district needs Unsure of how to connect with school districts Examples of Opportunities Check with school district or local processors Install hoophouses to extend season Contact the school food service director Contact State Dept s. of Ag and Ed, cooperative extension offices, nonprofit organizations
