This grant from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS) is for the People’s Garden School Pilot Program, with $1 million available in Fiscal Year 2010. Its primary purpose is to establish and manage community gardens within high-poverty schools. Through this cooperative agreement, successful applicants will receive funding to educate students on agricultural production practices, diet, and nutrition. A key objective is also to utilize the garden produce to supplement food provisions for eligible schools, student households, local food banks, or senior center nutrition programs. Projects must include an evaluation component to assess the school gardens’ impact on students and communities, aiming to enhance food security and promote healthy eating habits.
