to school related activities will be sent

Authorities (SFA) in the 50 United
States and the District of Columbia.

use data from the Farm to School
Census to develop a baseline assessment

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

school meal programs in 2011–12 in
