About this file
This document contains an action planning template and tracker for a Farm to School Grant from the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The template outlines required and optional activities including attending a training meeting, convening a planning team, conducting an action planning process to draft a plan by identifying needs, activities, compliance strategies, and how local foods will be incorporated at schools. The plan should also determine delivery and storage logistics, promotion strategies, identify resources for sustainability, and include an evaluation plan. Key details include tracking the number of collaborating child nutrition program sites by education level and number of students impacted. The related federal grant opportunity is for FY2024 Farm to School Grants administered under the Farm to School Grant Program federal grant.
