directed USDA to establish a Farm to
School program in order to assist
eligible entities through grants and
technical assistance, in implementing
farm to school programs that improve
the access to local foods in eligible
schools. Under 7 U.S.C. 427, the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized
and directed to conduct and to stimulate
research into the laws and principles
underlying the basic problems of
agriculture in its broadest aspects,
including but limited to research

production, marketing, distribution,
processing, and utilization of plant and
animal commodities at all stages from
the original producer through the
ultimate consumer. The Farm to School
Census is a new, one-time, data
collection. A questionnaire on
purchases of local foods and other farm
to school related activities will be sent
to public school district School Food
Authorities (SFA) in the 50 United
States and the District of Columbia.
Need and Use of the Information:
USDA’s Farm to School Program will
use data from the Farm to School
Census to develop a baseline assessment
of farm to school programs and to set
priorities for USDA outreach and
technical support, as mandated by the
HHFKA. The Farm to School Census
will also be used to establish a baseline
measure of local food purchases in
schools and set priorities for USDA
programming related to local school
food sourcing. The Farm to School
Census data will be used in mapping
SFAs that procured local foods for
school meal programs in 2011–12 in
order to characterize the geographic
distribution farm to school programs
and obtain State-level estimates of the
prevalence of local procurement among
SFAs.
