Farm Bill Review: What's In It for Farm to School?
The following is a "short list" of programs that the Community Food Security Coalition has followed in the Farm Bill and their outcomes:

Community Food Projects: Section 4406(a)(7) - Funds the program at $5 million (in mandatory money) for fiscal year 2008 and each year after, making it a permanent program.

Geographic preference: Section 4302 - Allows K-12 schools receiving federal funds for the school lunch program the flexibility to specify a geographic preference for the procurement of unprocessed agricultural products. Report language indicates that "unprocessed" is not intended to be interpreted literally, and it states that "unprocessed" should include washing vegetables, bagging greens, butchering livestock and poultry, pasteurizing milk, or putting eggs in a carton.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program: Section 4304 - Provides $500 million (mandatory) over five years for selected schools to purchase at least one daily fresh fruit or vegetable snack. The program will focus on low-income school districts, and allocates 1% of funding total funding to each state and the District of Columbia with additional funding allocated by relative state population.
