Read our article in the latest issue of Childhood Education International Innovations magazine, “Eating Learning Growing: Culturally Relevant Farm to School Education.” Cindy Hu, Education Program Manager, writes about how students learn best when they see their cultures and languages reflected at school. Our Eating Learning Growing guide provides a framework, activities, and reflections that support educators to enhance farm to school lessons to make them more culturally relevant and celebrate fruits and vegetables. https://lnkd.in/g6ezqkgr #eatinglearninggrowing #farmtoschool

Our Healthy School Food Pathway Fellowship helps experienced school food professionals realize their visions for change, both locally in their home districts and nationally. "There are so many districts in this country that are moving in that direction of scratch-cooking and providing their students with the best, nutritious product and school food that we can," said Nick Vedia, District Sous Chef & Fellowship Alumnus '23. Check out the recording of our latest informational webinar to hear firsthand from Fellows about the Fellowship’s transformative impact: https://ow.ly/opTJ50TaYw1
Good news 🙌 The CA School Food Safety Act #AB2316 has passed the CA legislature! This first-in-the-nation legislation prohibits CA public schools from serving foods containing six synthetic food dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Green 3) that have been linked to developmental and behavioral harms in children. The bill now awaits @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom’s signature. CA’s #SchoolMealsForAll program is feeding more students than ever before. All students deserve nourishing meals that support their health and learning. Thank you @AsmJesseGabriel for championing healthier school food.
This is school food!

Our students loved our new Mango Smoothie with our homemade granola. We got this recipe concept from the USDA Recipes for Schools on the Institute for Child Nutrition website. So good! 🥭🥳
