Priority Outcomes, Indicators, and Measures
• Indicator 1: Child access to local, healthy foods in schools and ECE settings
– Measure 1.1: Number of children participating in, or exposed to, farm to school/ECE activities such as gardening, cooking, nutrition and food-based lessons
– Measure 1.2: Food preparation strategies used to increase local food availability, accessibility or appeal of local, healthy foods, including use of culturally appropriate foods in schools
Public Health
Program Outcome: Students and their families accesslocally produced, healthy food through schools and ECE settings.

Barriers to Farm to ECE
Barriers to Local Purchasing:
• Cost/price of item
• Seasonality
• Reliability of product
• Finding suppliers/farmers
• Knowing how to order local food
Barriers to Education/Gardening:
• Limited funding for supplies
• Limited staff time to develop and implement lessons
• Limited staff knowledge of gardening and local foods
![Page 20: New LEVERAGING RESEARCH AND EVALUATION TO ADVANCE … Conference/2020... · 2020. 7. 27. · Care Food Program. #SNEB2020: What Food Future? LEARNING OBJECTIVES •FOLLOWING THIS](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060702/606f5239368d5f66dd31fc89/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Putting the results to work
• Informing programmatic and resource development initiatives – Motivations
– Barriers
– Reach
• Leveraging state level results– Supporting partners in advocacy and promotion
– Leveraging lack of response

Where Does the Office of Community Food Systems Come In?
Section 18 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act was amended to create a Farm to School Program to:
1. Distribute grant funding to improve access to local foods in schools.
2. Provide training and technical assistance to improve access to local foods in schools.
3. Disseminate research and data on existing programs and opportunities for expansion.

Lack of funding
Lack of awareness of funding sources
3. Staff
Inadequate number of volunteers
Teacher-faculty disinterest
4. Low community engagement
Little connection to the school community as a whole
No connection to community-at-large (neighborhood businesses, farmers markets,
community gardens)

How would you allocate additional
funds?
Infrastructure (54%)
Hiring additional support staff (for garden
maintenance) (28%)
