Support Local Farms & Gardens
- Using local vendors for fruits and vegetables will make it easier for schools to serve healthier lunches.
- We need to redirect our funding to support local farms and establishing farm to school programs.
- This way, we will not need extra funding from the already struggling state budget.
- Schools will establish gardens on campuses, and students will tend and take care of the gardens for elective credit.
- Students will have incentive to participate for the elective credit, as well as being educated of the foundations of healthy living and food choices.
- The funding will be redirected, instead of using additional funding, so this would not cost the budget.
