  1. Wisconsin Farm to School: New initiatives and a common vision Wisconsin Local Food Summit 1.14.16

  3. Wisconsin Act 293 “Farm to School” connects schools with local and regional farms to provide children with fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and other nutritious, locally produced foods in school breakfasts, lunches, and snacks; helps children develop healthy eating habits; provides nutritional and agricultural education; and improves farmers’ incomes and direct access to markets.

  6. WI Farm to Institution Procurement Strategy A new project that aligns the institutional demand and local supply of five target products...

  7. What will we gain from this project? • DATA -- supply and demand data including price, volume, specific uses, etc. • RESEARCH -- can we align the demand with the supply to create an optimal environment where institutions can afford the products and farmers are being paid a fair price? • SUPPLY CHAIN DEVELOPMENT -- new product development, better alignment of local products with institutional specifications, connections to new WI producers and processors • COMBINED PURCHASING POWER -- schools will work with hospitals, universities, etc. to take advantage of their combined purchasing power • THE LOCAL CHOICE BECOMES THE EASY CHOICE -- WI options available through traditional distribution systems

  8. How can YOU participate? • Attend the kick-off meeting at the Midwest Food Service Expo, Milwaukee, March 8, 2016 • Join the peer-to-peer network of participating school districts to learn more about purchasing local foods (more details will be announced soon) • Sign up to participate in the project • Commit to purchasing the target local products • Attend a training and/or webinar to increase your knowledge of using local products • provide feedback and/or data to improve the project
