Episode Details

California’s Farm to School program is now permanently enshrined in state law, transforming school lunches with fresh, local produce and tying nutrition education directly to the classroom. Since launching in 2021, it’s already injected millions into school kitchens while partnering with the Universal Meals Program to ensure every public school student gets free breakfast and lunch. Beyond food, the initiative supports school infrastructure upgrades — like Lodi Unified’s newly renovated kitchens — and is backed by nearly $25 million in new funding, plus over $900 million already allocated for kitchen improvements and staff training. With more investment on the horizon, California is building a healthier, more connected future for students through food, education, and equity.
