Students across Iowa could benefit from the work of the Iowa Legislature with expansion of the farm-to-school program.
With passage of Senate File 578, Iowa’s farm-to-school initiative is set to expand with schools able to be reimbursed for one-third of what they spend on locally-produced food.
The food can be used either in school-provided meals such as breakfast and lunch or in snacks provided to students.
How the program would work is by reimbursing district’s $1 for its expenditures of $3, up to $1,000 per year per school.
