Now that COVID is over, we should turn to other existing USDA programs whose funds can be used to buy local fruits and vegetables for schools - if the local school system chooses to use those funds in that way. Nothing prevents a state or local school from using their money from these other USDA programs to buy foods from local farmers if they choose to do so, but we have to move past COVID-era spending.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z |
