What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection (DATCP) to promote farm to school programs. A farm to school program

seeks to connect schools with nearby farms to provide children with locally produced

fresh foods in school meals and snacks, help children develop healthy eating habits,

provide nutritional and agricultural education, and improve farmers' incomes. The

bill also creates a program for DATCP to provide grants to school districts, nonprofit

organizations, and others for the creation and expansion of farm to school programs.

The bill establishes a farm to school council to advise DATCP and to report to the

legislature about the needs and opportunities for farm to school programs.
