Bringing together the best of NC Cooperative Extension’s areas of expertise: agriculture, food, and youth development, the Farm to School team is developing a new series of online courses that build North Carolina’s capacity to deliver programming in school gardens, local food procurement, and nutrition education.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture has awarded a two year, $219,458 grant to North Carolina Extension/North Carolina State University and the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) to expand our online farm to school course into a Farm to School Collaborative Training Initiative (NCF2SCTI).
Three service members from FoodCorps NC gave brief "FoodTalks" at the 2016 Farm to Fork; listen to their stories about their experiences with kids, gardens, and cooking food.
