Farm Smart Launches Farm-to-School Initiative in Imperial Valley
Farm Smart and UC Cooperative Extension, with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, launched a two-year farm-to-school initiative on Jan. 23 in El Centro to connect Imperial Valley agriculture with K-12 classrooms and cafeterias. The kickoff included field tours of organic farms, workshops from UC Master Food Preserver and agriculture-in-the-classroom partners, and offers stipends and limited seats for teacher participation. Organizers aim to integrate local produce into curriculum and school meals.
Scoring Rationale
Local program launch offers practical educator resources and stipends, but has limited broader impact beyond Imperial Valley schools.
