Local Food in Schools: Supporting Farmers and Healthier Meals.

This act aims to make it easier for schools to purchase locally produced food, such as vegetables, fruits, or meat. This will give children access to fresher and healthier meals, while local farmers and suppliers will gain new opportunities to sell their products. This can contribute to the development of the local economy and improve the quality of nutrition in schools.
Key points
Schools will be able to more easily purchase food directly from local producers.
More fresh, local products in school cafeterias for children.
Support for local farms and food suppliers.
