Farm to School Act of 2019

Farm to School Act of 2019​

According to the National Farm to School Network, "The Farm to School Grant Program has been forced to turn away roughly 80 percent of qualified applications. The Farm to School Act of 2019 would allow more impactful projects to be realized by:
  • Increasing annual funding to $15 million and increasing the grant award maximum to $250,000.
  • Advancing equity by prioritizing grants that engage diverse farmers and serve high-need schools. 
  • Fully including early care and education sites, summer food service sites & after school programs. 
  • Increasing access among tribal schools to traditional foods, especially from tribal producers. "
To read more about the Farm to School Act of 2019 and stay informed visit the National Farm to School Network.
