The Fiscal Year 2026 Farm to School Grant is a competitive discretionary funding opportunity administered directly by the federal government through the Department of Agriculture. The program aims to enhance child health and nutrition while supporting American agriculture by increasing the availability of local foods within eligible Child Nutrition Program sites. This is achieved by strengthening the connections between local farmers and producers and the USDA's nutrition programs through integrated sourcing and agricultural education. Grant funds may be used to launch pilot initiatives, incorporate unprocessed or minimally processed local ingredients into meals, and upgrade infrastructure to support new local menu items. Additionally, the program supports promotional activities, such as taste tests, to encourage students to consume more fruits and vegetables. While the program focuses on food, agriculture, and health, it also serves as a tool for economic development. The current status is closed pending the next funding cycle.
