In October, USDA published the 2023 Farm to School Census results! Significant findings include: - 74% School Food Authorities (SFAs) did at least one Farm to School activity during school year 2022-2023 (14% increase from the 2019 Farm to School Census) - 81% of SFAs participating in Farm to School served local foods at least weekly
These results show that Farm to School is thriving in Texas schools—and continues to grow stronger with your support! Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey.
