Local Foods for Schools Listening Session

ScratchWorks participants are invited to provide feedback on a new local foods for schools policy concept developed by partners from the Chef Ann Foundation, Friends of the Earth, Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic, the National Farm to School Network, and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. This proposal would give districts an optional new pathway within the USDA Foods program—allowing operators to use entitlement funds specifically for purchasing local foods. You can review the full policy concept note with this link below.

This is a unique and meaningful chance to make your voice heard by the people crafting and advancing national policy. Your on-the-ground experience matters, and policy developers need to hear directly from you.
