Georgia Departments of Agriculture and Education Join Together for 2020 Vision for School Nutrition
Leaders within the agriculture and education sectors joined together recently to discuss a plan to increase the presence of more nutritious, local foods within the school cafeterias in Georgia. The "2020 Vision for School Nutrition" was announced during a meeting led by Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods and Dr. Kathy Peavey, Assistant Director of School Nutrition Program for the Georgia Department of Education.
The vision cast by the team for the 2020 project is to have at least 20 percent of every meal in every Georgia public school every day to be comprised of Georgia products by the start of the 2020 school year. In addition, 20 percent of schools will be challenged to reach the 50 percent mark for their menu content. Continue reading
"Today is the day that we drive the stake into the soil of Georgia and change the paradigm of school nutrition for students throughout the state."
