This $239,997 federal Project Grant awarded by the Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition, a civilian agency, under the USDA's Food and Agriculture Service Learning Program (CFDA 10.522), will support a two-year initiative to increase access to local food and improve food, garden, and nutrition education in the Troy School District (TSD) and Genesee Joint School District (GJSD) in Latah County, Idaho. The project aims to: 1) increase access to local foods in school meals, 2) provide experiential learning opportunities through school gardens to boost fruit, vegetable, and legume consumption and foster business/leadership skills, and 3) develop integrated educational curricula to improve students' knowledge of food, gardening, and nutrition. The Regents of the University of Idaho, the grant recipient, will work directly with the two school districts to implement these activities and address the significant disparities between food access and consumption in this underserved rural agricultural region.
