CISA's
Farm to School project
CISA
encourages efforts that connect children with locally grown
food and farms, including school gardens, farm-to-cafeteria
programs, field trips to farms, and curricular activities focused
on food and farming.
CISA
staff work with parents, teachers, and school staff and administrators
to support these efforts. In addition, we partner with Fertile
Ground and Seeds
of Solidarity Education Center, Inc. to coordinate the Local
Hero Schools Network, which celebrates schools that forge connections
with local agriculture. The Network unites parents, teachers,
administrators, food service professionals and community members
who learn from each others' experiences in order to connect
and strengthen
farm-to-school activities.

and country, email Kelly
