A bipartisan group of Senators has introduced the Farm to School Act to support child nutrition programs and food systems that are rebuilding following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Karen Spangler is the policy director for the National Farm to School Network. “This is the perfect time to be investing in direct farm-to-school procurement and aggregation for kids. Our schools have done so much work over the last year to try and pivot and to meet needs both educations and food nutrition professionals,” she says.
