The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $203,254 Project Grant to Reap Food Group Inc., a non-profit organization in Madison, Wisconsin, under the Food and Agriculture Service Learning Program (CFDA 10.522). The grant will fund efforts to 1) coordinate the development and implementation of a food justice curriculum across Madison schools, 2) expand experiential learning opportunities for high school students with local farmers, food producers, and national food justice leaders, and 3) establish new partnerships to advance food justice initiatives. Key activities include convening a task force to create and support implementation of the food justice curriculum, compiling and distributing a list of food justice-related internships and apprenticeships, and hosting a food justice symposium to raise awareness and foster new connections. This Project Grant, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025, aims to integrate innovative food justice education and increase access to experiential learning in the local community.
