No Student Goes Hungry Program: Governor Cuomo unveiled plans for a comprehensive approach to providing students of all ages, backgrounds and financial situations access to healthy, locally-sourced meals from kindergarten through college during his 2018 State of the State Address. The Governor's No Student Goes Hungry Program includes investments to expand the Farm to School program, legislation to expand access to free breakfast and put an end to lunch shaming, and policy changes to ensure students in kindergarten through college receive access to farm-fresh foods in a quality learning environment. Read about the full proposal here.
From NOFA-NY: The Organic Certification Cost-Share Program is at Risk! The Organic Certification Cost-Share program helps organic farms stay in business and is especially important for small and mid-size farms. We need to support local, organic farms and our regional economies. Without adequate support, we will become increasingly reliant on imports for organic food.
Congress is working on the Farm Bill now, and we have learned that Organic Certification Cost-Share programs could be cut if we do not take action. Call Your Senators and Representative TODAY! Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121 to contact your Senators and Representative or Find your Congress member Here.
Visit NOFA-NY to learn more about the Farm Bill and other ways you can get involved.
