From Missouri Farm to School:
Interest in Missouri around farm to school is catching on. Hear from a local food service director who is starting up a program for several schools in her district.
Missouri Farm to School and Missouri Farm to Institution (FTS/FTI) are projects of the Missouri Council for Activity and Nutrition (MoCAN). Missouri Farm to School seeks to increase access to locally grown foods in order to strengthen the health, well-being and economic security of all communities and family farmers. By creating opportunities for training and education, the Missouri FTS and FTI links schools, hospitals and communities with locally-grown foods. This project is funded through a contract with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and a grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
