Evaluating Farm-to-School in Mississippi
The Mississippi Farm to School Network strives to enhance child nutrition and eradicate food insecurity in the state by connecting school systems with their local food systems. The framework for reaching this goal consists of three central components:
Local procurement in the cafeteria
School gardening
Nutritional education
To better understand these initiatives in the state and help plan for the future, the University of Mississippi Center for Population Studies has partnered with the network to evaluate farm-to-school in Mississippi.
