Pasadena schools serve locally grown produce to students

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 and supports small farmers. The programme, highlighted by California state officials, shortens the supply chain for cafeteria food while directing purchasing dollars to nearby agricultural producers. It reflects a broader farm-to-school trend in California, where districts are being encouraged to source food locally to cut emissions and sustain small farms.

Why now: The district's farm-to-school sourcing programme is being promoted by California state outlets as a model combining environmental benefits with support for small farmers.
