Small, independent farms can encourage biodiversity by diversifying the landscape. Such diversity also reduces soil degradation, decreases agricultural run-off into rivers and streams, and provides habitat for wildlife.

Farm to School
National Farm to School Program
|
Farm to school programs can be challenging to implement, requiring cooperation from school food service directors and staff, school administrators, parents, teachers, students, and of course, local farmers. This manual is a tool for introducing school food service professionals to the idea of purchasing regional and seasonal foods for school meals directly from farmers in their communities. The Dialogue pages in the back of this manual have been used in training for food service directors and cafeteria managers. They are meant to help begin the discussion why farm to school? and to establish common ground among farm to school stakeholders. When using this manual for training, it is useful to include regional information about agriculture, the seasonality of food production, and how to contact local farmers.
