School meals provide important nutrition to 30 million students a day! The time is now for schools to be bold and creative when considering their purchasing power and their responsibilities to serving their community. The procurement processes used by schools can have a tremendous impact on the viability of local farmers, processors, and their ability to supply healthy local food to schools. 🎬 Watch recordings from our local procurement webinar series to hear from school food and community leaders on improving access to and building capacity for local food procurement.
Thank you USFA for bringing the voices on the ground that are making real changes improving school meals through new ways of procuring healthy options for our Nation's children.
