On Earth Day, California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, joined by Governor Newsom and CDFA Secretary Karen Ross, convened stakeholders to explore opportunities to build upon California\u2019s nation-leading Farm to School program, which connects local farmers and food to California students while creating a more sustainable and equitable food system for the betterment of the planet.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalifornia\u2019s Farm to School program presents endless possibilities to address so many priority issue areas: the health and well-being of children, moving the food and agriculture industry towards regenerative practices to combat climate change, creating sustainable career pathways, bolstering local economies, and building partnership within communities,\u201d said the First Partner. \u201cGiven the state\u2019s unprecedented investments in universal school meals and unparalleled agricultural production, California is uniquely positioned to scale up Farm to School and create a healthier, more equitable future for ALL Californians.\u201d

\u201cCalifornia is laser-focused on creating healthier communities with our nation-leading Farm to School efforts \u2013 leveraging our unique position as the bread basket of the nation to bring more sustainable and healthy options to our schools,\u201d said Governor Newsom. \u201cWe\u2019re taking real action that makes a difference in the lives of thousands of California families, giving kids access to healthier meals that fight climate change and support our agricultural communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Partner Siebel Newsom led the work \u2013 in partnership with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) \u2013 to develop the innovative California Farm to School<\/a> grant program. Farm to School works in tandem with California\u2019s first-in-the-nation universal school meals initiative to ensure California’s two free school meals are also locally sourced, nutritious, and delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the First Partner\u2019s leadership and in partnership with CDFA, Farm to School has touched over 1.5 million students, 163 school districts and educational entities, over 50 farms and four food hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we celebrate Earth Day 2023, we also celebrate the enthusiasm of California school leaders, students and farmers to embrace the farm to school movement and Farm to School Incubator Grant Program championed by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Governor Newsom and the California Legislature,\u201d said Secretary Ross. \u201cThere is clear excitement from students about building lifelong relationships with nutritious food, and we\u2019re just as excited to encourage an equitable, healthy, local food system that creates community around what we eat and celebrates the bounty of a healthy Earth through the curious minds and hands of children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Through Farm to School, California school districts are developing new markets for California farmers and food producers \u2013 including small farmers, women, and people of color who have historically been left out of the massive school food marketplace \u2013 catalyzing broader food systems change towards greater climate-smart practices, and implementing educational programming that connects traditional curriculum with hands-on learning opportunities like cultivating school gardens, cooking classes, and farm field trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Earth Day event was held at Soil Born Farms in Rancho Cordova and included\u00a0school superintendents, Farm to School program grantees, farmers, members of California\u00a0Native communities, chefs, and labor representatives. The group came together for a creek clean up project led by California Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday and a lunch curated by renowned chef and longtime farm to school champion Alice Waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
