Farm-to-___
- "An effort to connect cafeteria foodservice in schools, colleges, corporations, hospitals, and other institutions with local farms with the objective of serving healthy meals; improving student and customer nutrition; providing agriculture, health and nutrition education opportunities; and supporting local and regional farmers."
- "Programs where farmers sell their produce directly to local [e.g. hospitals, schools]. [Hospitals/schools]
benefit by having fresh produce, and both farmers and [hospitals/schools] benefit
economically by avoiding the middleman."
- "sourcing local farm products for school cafeterias. Often, the purchases are combined with learning activities for the students, centered around nutrition and farm education," and support of the local economy is an additional justification often brought up.
