In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food has developed new videos highlighting how local food producers, farmers and suppliers can be integrated into K-12 school food programs<\/strong>. Using local products are good for farmers and the community and are an opportunity to educate students about how food is grown, raised and distributed to their table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
