Food and Nutrition Security. According to the USDA, approximately “13.1 million children lived in food-insecure households across the United States” in 2015 (USDA, 2017). In Georgia, it is estimated that 1 in 6 children are food insecure (Feeding America, 2020). Farm to school programming has the potential to reduce food insecurity through access, increased participation in the school lunch program, and increased autonomy in food production (NFSN, 2020). Schools with FTS programs have seen positive associations with school lunch program participation. Many FTS programs incorporate local produce into the cafeteria through taste tests or salad bars, and programs have seen significant increases in participation in the school lunch program following these changes (Joshi et al., 2006; Flock et al. 2003). Providing taste tests of new, vegetable-focused menu items in the cafeteria also increases participation (Xxxx et al., 2018). Increasing student participation in the school lunch program has the potential to increase children’s food and nutrition security. During the 2015-16 school year, only 81% of Georgia children eligible for free school lunch participated in the program, and 73% of students eligible for reduced-priced lunches participated (GaDOE, 2016). These numbers indicate potential for improvement in school lunch participation among lower-income children, with school lunches serving as a possible access point for children in food-insecure families. Future research should explore the association between school lunch participation and food insecurity more closely. Increased participation in the school lunch program may also facilitate improvement in nutrition access. Xxxxxx et al (2009) found that students eating school lunch were more likely to consume fruits and vegetables and less likely to eat unhealthy items like desserts and snacks compared to those not sourcing their lunch from school. Children from low-income households have been found to have, on average, the lowest fruit and vegetable intake (Lorsen et al., 2009; Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx, 2015; Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2006). Farm to school programs are able to provide increased access (Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxx et al., 2014; Xxxxxx et al., 2020) and increased consumption (Xxxx et al., 2013; Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxx et al., 2014; XxXxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2007; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2013) of fruits and vegetables for children. Some states and districts use FTS as a targeted strategy to reach lower-income students, like the state of Oregon who established its farm to ...
