"Schools partnering with local farmers is a great multisolutional answer to the malnutrition present among students in today's school systems. The money schools use to provide lunches will also stay locally and help the local economy ." 

The Details

The general adult public should feel like it's our responsibility to provide America's children with healthy and nutritious lunches. Children don't fully grasp the harm of eating processed and genetically modified food can do to them later on and how eating healthy could improve their daily routine. Many families whose children are on the free or reduced lunch program don't have enough money to provide complete nutritious meals at home, this is why it's even more important that schools provide a good example of a well-balanced meal for these students. In a study at Turlock Unified School District the percentage of students that ate free or reduced lunches nearly tripled because the negative perception of eating school lunches was changed in that school. In a market research survey 100% of the people said that if schools partnered with local farmers that this would be an improvement for the school systems. Many parents that pack their children's food said they would be very pleased and that they would have their children eat school lunch.
