The NCF2C Initiative will build on the existing infrastructure of high quality childcare centers and family childcare homes, Smart Start Local Partnerships, and existing early childhood and food systems efforts to embed locally grown foods into NC childcare. With careful attention to the health disparities caused by racial inequity, and the impact on our most vulnerable children, the initiative will connect childcare centers and family childcare homes, and the communities that they serve, with local small to midsize farms, prioritizing those owned by limited resource farmers.
