About this file

This document contains an activities and indicators tracker for an agricultural education project funded under the FY2024 Farm to School Grants program administered by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. The tracker lists tasks required to plan, implement, and evaluate the integration of farm to school topics into child nutrition program sites' curriculum. It includes responsible parties and timelines for tasks such as establishing a curriculum planning team, developing an agricultural education curriculum, and conducting an evaluation. Metrics for tracking purposes include the number of students impacted, collaborating child nutrition sites, and dollar value of local foods purchased by product type. The overall goal is to determine how local foods will be incorporated into the curriculum through activities like taste tests and farm visits while meeting state standards.
