The National Farm to School Network works to expand equitable access to locally sourced food and nutrition education in schools and early care settings, with the goal of improving children’s health and supporting family farms. It functions as a resource, advocate and networking hub for communities across the country seeking to bring local food, gardens, and nutrition education into school environments. Through these efforts, the organization aims to strengthen local economies and contribute to vibrant, resilient communities. It is based in Chicago, Illinois, and operates within the public policy space, linking schools, communities and policymakers around local food systems. In recent years, the network has engaged in partnerships and collaborative initiatives, including a June 2026 collaboration with Friends of the Earth to advance farm-to-school efforts.
