Please join us for a workshop hosted by the SC Food Policy Council that addresses the Farm to School potential in SC.
The discussion will focus on the current Farm to School projects in SC and where the future of Farm to School is headed. The goal of the workshop is to explore opportunities to expand and improve Farm to School Programs throughout the state, and even beyond schools to other similar institutions such as Hospitals, Universities, Employers, etc. While the majority of the day will be dedicated to presentations, participants will have the opportunity to form focus groups in order to brain storm new ideas in order to work actively towards a Farm to School future that directly enhances the lives of South Carolinians.
