Farm-to-School Act

The Farm-to-School Act addresses the relationship between schools and local agricultural producers, providing public support for bringing locally grown food into schools. Its central mechanism is a grant program: the act defines the terms governing eligibility, places limits on the grants that may be awarded, and prescribes how applications are submitted and reviewed and how approved funds are disposed of. It further provides for administration of the program, including authority to contract and to issue implementing regulations, and addresses the source of the money that supports it.
