Results from the 2009 Michigan Farm to School survey: participation grows from 2004.
Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2012Co-Authors: Kathryn Colasanti, Colleen Matts, Michael W HammAbstract:Abstract Objective This study investigated changes in Michigan School food service directors’ Farm to School (FTS) participation levels and perspectives since a 2004 survey and factors that would facilitate FTS expansion. Design Electronic survey census of all Michigan School food service directors. Setting Michigan kindergarten-12th grade Schools. Participants Food service directors of National School Lunch programs in Michigan. Variables Measured Survey respondents were asked about local food purchasing behaviors, interests, motivations, concerns, and barriers. Analysis Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were calculated to compare 2004 and 2009 results. Results Participation in FTS was more than 3 times higher (41.5%) than in 2004 (10.6%), and the vast majority of School districts (77.0%) had taken at least 1 step to connect students with local food. Budget and cost issues were ranked higher as barriers to FTS than in 2004, but the desire to help Michigan Farms had also substantially increased. Fresh and whole produce items were generally preferred for local procurement over frozen or canned items. Conclusions and Implications Education to reverse perceived limits of procurement regulations, food safety assurances, and strategies to mitigate tight School food budgets are needed to encourage FTS expansion.

prospects for more healthful local and sustainably produced food in School meals
Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition, 2010Co-Authors: David S Conner, Michael W Hamm, Getachew Abate, Toni Liquori, Christopher H PetersonAbstract:The problem of serving more healthful, local, and sustainably grown foods in School meals has many elements of a “wicked problem” and therefore an engaged, participatory approach is essential. This article discusses efforts by a national Farm-to-School project, School Food FOCUS, and its efforts to engage School districts in participatory supply chain research. It describes the methods, activities, and findings of the project and its initial impacts on changes in procurement practices and food availability. It concludes with overarching observations on the efficacy of this approach, key lessons learned, and future plans for the project.

market diversification and social benefits motivations of Farmers participating in Farm to School programs
Journal of Rural Studies, 2010Co-Authors: Betty T. Izumi, Wynne D Wright, Michael W HammAbstract:Abstract Activists and academics are increasingly advocating for public procurement of locally grown food as a key market opportunity for Farmers. In the United States, linking Farmers directly with School cafeterias through Farm to School programs are among the efforts that advocates say can provide a significant boost to rural economies. Through an empirical analysis of Farmers' perspectives of Farm to School programs, this paper explores why Farmers participate in these efforts. The data presented are part of a larger study exploring the opportunities and challenges of Farm to School programs located in the United States from the perspectives of Farmers, food service professionals, and food distributors. Our findings suggest that Farmers sold their products to Schools for two primary reasons: to diversify their marketing strategies and to contribute to social benefits through direct action. The concepts of embeddedness, marketness, and economic instrumentalism provide a framework for understanding their participation in Farm to School programs. Our findings also provide insight into the kind of support necessary to sustain long-term connections between Farmers and School food service professionals. As advocates seek to institutionalize public procurement of locally grown foods, it is critical that Farmers' needs and motivations are considered.

Farm to School programs: Exploring the role of regionally-based food distributors in alternative agrifood networks
Agriculture and Human Values, 2010Co-Authors: Betty T. Izumi, D. Wynne Wright, Michael W HammAbstract:Farm to School programs are at the vanguard of efforts to create an alternative agrifood system in the United States. Regionally-based, mid-tier food distributors may play an important role in harnessing the potential of Farm to School programs to create viable market opportunities for small-and mid-size family Farmers, while bringing more locally grown fresh food to School cafeterias. This paper focuses on the perspectives of food distributors. Our find-ings suggest that the food distributors profiled have the potential to help institutionalize Farm to School programs. Notably, their relationships with Farmers may be a critical element in expanding the scale and scope of local School food procurement. Their ability to catalyze local School food procurement however, is limited by the structural context in which Farm to School programs operate. Specifi-cally, the oppositional School year and agriculture pro-duction cycle, and tight food service budget constraints disembed and limit the potential of Farm to School programs to decrease the ''marketness'' of School food procurement and to shift it from a process based largely on price to one that is more territorially embedded. As Farm to School programs continue to gain support, regionally-based food distributors that have the meaningful relationships neces-sary to re-embed the School food service market back into the larger society may be critical to enabling advocates to achieve their goals.

Farm-to-School programs: perspectives of School food service professionals.
Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2010Co-Authors: Betty T. Izumi, Katherine Alaimo, Michael W HammAbstract:Abstract Objective This qualitative study used a case study approach to explore the potential of Farm-to-School programs to simultaneously improve children's diets and provide Farmers with viable market opportunities. Design Semistructured interviews were the primary data collection strategy. Setting Seven Farm-to-School programs in the Upper Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. Participants Seven School food service professionals, 7 Farmers, and 4 food distributors recruited from 7 Farm-to-School programs. Phenomenon of Interest Interviews probed why Farmers, School food service professionals, and food distributors participate in Farm-to-School programs and how they characterize the opportunities and challenges to local School food procurement. Analysis Data were analyzed using thematic coding and data displays. Results School food service professionals described 3 motivators for buying locally grown food for their cafeterias: (1) “The students like it,” (2) “The price is right,” and (3) “We're helping our local Farmer.” Students' preference for locally grown food was related to food quality, influence of School staff, and relationships with Farmers. Buying food directly from Farmers and wholesalers was associated with lower prices and flexible specifications, and the “local feel.” Conclusions and Implications Understanding School food service professionals' motivations for buying locally grown food is critical to the sustainability of Farm-to-School programs.
