The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 ushered in a new set of nutrition standards, which schools across the country have been working to comply with. But change isn't always easy for school staff or the students they serve. How can schools adjust to healthier new menus without seeing drops in participation or excess plate waste? Farm to school practices can help! In this webinar, Betti Wiggins (Executive Director, Office of Food Services at Detroit Public Schools) discusses farm to school practices, such as taste tests and education programs, that can help schools smoothly and successfully transition their menus and their students to the new standards.
