Description
Food
and Agriculture Service Learning Programs are intended to increase the
knowledge of agriculture and improve the nutritional health of children and to
bring together stakeholders from the distinct parts of the food system to
increase the capacity for food, garden, and nutrition education within host
organizations or entities, such as school cafeterias and classrooms, while
fostering higher levels of community engagement between farms and school
systems. The initiative is part of a broader effort to not only increase access
to school meals for low-income children, but also to dramatically improve their
quality.
