Burlington School Food Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Burlington School Food Project (BSFP) is a collaborative effort in Burlington, Vermont, United States, to connect schoolchildren and their families with nearby farms by bringing more fresh local foods to cafeterias and more hands-on agriculture education to classrooms.[1] BSFP is a nationally recognized initiative and has been featured in The New York Times [2] and Time for Kids.
The goals of the Burlington School Food Project are to:
- Build the capacity for Burlington to better meet the food needs of students
- Increase awareness and encourage healthy food choices for children and their families
- Improve Burlington School District access to food from local farms
