POLICY :: Support Farm to School Legislation - AB 826 (Nava)

CAFF and the California Food and Justice Coalition (CFJC) are co-sponsoring the California Farm to School Child Nutrition Improvement Act (AB 826 ­ Nava). The bill creates the California Farm to School program in order to improve school meals and combat childhood obesity by serving kids the healthiest and freshest foods available from California’s family farmers.

Through training, sharing information and helping to address transportation barriers, the California Farm to School program helps schools and farmers work together to get local, seasonal, fresh fruits and vegetables, and other farm fresh products, into the school meal program.
