Pasadena schools serve locally grown produce in meals

Original: PUSD helps environment, supports small farmers through incorporating locally grown produce into school meals

PUSD is incorporating locally grown produce into its school meal programs, a move the district says benefits the environment and supports small farmers. By sourcing food from nearby growers, the district reduces transportation emissions while directing purchasing dollars to local agricultural businesses. The initiative highlights a growing trend of school districts using cafeteria procurement as a tool for sustainability and community economic support.

Why now: School farm-to-table programs are drawing attention as communities look for local sustainability and support for small farmers.
