USDA has announced
the release of a request for applications (RFA) for the latest round of USDA’s
Farm to School grants. These grants help eligible schools improve the
health and well-being of their students and connect with local agricultural
producers.
This year, three different kinds of grants will be available.
Planning grants are intended for schools just getting started on farm to school
activities, while implementation grants are available for schools seeking to
augment or expand existing efforts. Additionally, eligible non-profit entities,
Indian tribal organizations, state and local agencies, and agriculture
producers or groups of producers may apply for support service grants in order
to conduct trainings, create complementary curriculum, or further develop
supply chains, among other activities.
Proposals are due at midnight EST, April
24, 2013. Click here for more information.
