Farm-to-___

6130

Farm-to-___ (for example farm-to-school, farm-to-hospital, or generally farm-to-institution) is defined by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as

"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."

and in A Science Roadmap for Food and Agriculture as

"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."

Economic Impact of Farm to School in Central Minnesota defines farm-to-school, specifically, as

"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.

  We all borrow food practices and values from other people. But what are the channels through which we do this? Under what conditions do some people become teachers, and others learners? Items that describe social patterns in these channels and conditions help to explain how “structures of information and knowledge” become a factor shaping the food system.
