SALT LAKE CITY â The Utah State Board of Education is collaborating with the Utah Department of Agriculture & Food to give $250,000 to schools to help get more fresh food to students around the state.
The program aims to improve access for students to fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables, all while supporting Utah farmers during the 2021-22 school year.
Money will be distributed to schools as part of their per-meal state reimbursement. Schools that spend a higher portion of their funds on locally-grown products will receive a higher state reimbursement.
