What is Farm to School? Bringing Local Food to Schools It can be picked at the peak of ripeness and so improves school food quality. Local food connects students to the season, their locale, and their community. Local food is a platform for education, nutrition, health, agriculture and gardening education, and economics. Good for local farmers and the community.
