Benefits of Working with Extension to Support Farm to School
• Impact - behavior change takes time, multiple experiences and community connections
•On-going program vs. one shot deal
• Integrating into existing programs - schools and Extension
•Schools are a good fit for outreach - common goals. Eliminates barriers (i.e. transportation)
