PUSD schools serve locally grown produce to support farmers
Original: PUSD helps environment, supports small farmers through incorporating locally grown produce into school meals
The Pasadena Unified School District is incorporating locally grown produce into its school meals, an initiative it says helps the environment while supporting small farmers in the area. The programme connects school cafeterias with nearby growers, reducing transport emissions and channelling food purchases into the local agricultural economy. It is being highlighted on California's official state portal as an example of sustainability and community support in public education.
Why now: The district's farm-to-school programme is being showcased by California's state government as a model combining environmental benefits and support for small farmers.
