Abstract
" In 2014, the Missouri Legislature created a Farm to Table Program “to connect Missouri farmers and schools in order to provide schools with locally grown agricultural products for inclusion in school meals and snacks and to strengthen local farming economies.” The target for the voluntary program: Institutions in the state would purchase 10% of their food from Missouri sources (State of Missouri, 2016). Under the Farm to Table umbrella is the Missouri Farm to School (F2S) program. F2S programs share three core elements: 1. classroom education in food, agriculture, health, and nutrition; 2. edible school gardens with hands-on learning activities; and 3. school procurement of fresh foods from local farmers. Many studies have shown many positive outcomes of F2S programs: in public health, education, economic development, and environmental impact (FarmtoSchool.org, 2017a, b). The State of Missouri is a core partner of the National Farm to School Network."--Page 3.
