Farm-to-School
Farm-to-School is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''Journal of Planning Education and Research''. The main subjects of the publication include feeding disorder, urban sprawl, business, marketing, sustainable diet, geography, consumption, land use, human obesity, food system, distribution, economic growth, and agriculture. The article evaluates the significance of farm-to-school in relation to improving the health and nutrition of school-age children, particularly low-income youth; strengthening the capacity of local farmers, particularly those engaged in sustainable practices; adding to the toolkit of strategies designed to contain and ultimately reduce sprawl-inducing developments by helping preserve farmland; and helping establish a community food systems approach no longer entirely dependent on the global food system that has come to dominate food growing, processing, distribution, and consumption patterns around the world. .
