Sustainable Solano Develops Farm to School Program

Sustainable Solano is beginning work on a new Farm to School program in Solano County. The development was reported by the Daily Republic and involves the local organization’s effort to establish a program connecting schools with the region’s food and agriculture systems.

The initiative remains in its early stages. The program’s timeline, participating schools, farm partners, funding and specific activities have not been announced.

What the program could involve

A Farm to School program can include activities such as local food purchases for school meals, farm visits, classroom lessons or school gardens. Sustainable Solano has not announced which of those activities, if any, will be part of its proposed program.

Next steps

The program’s development will depend on how Sustainable Solano defines its goals and works with schools, farmers and other community partners. Future announcements could clarify who will participate, when activities might begin and how the effort will be organized.
