Environmental Health. In the 2013-14 Farm to School Census, 17% of schools with FTS programs reported a decrease in overall plate waste in the cafeteria (USDA, 2015). Food waste (also called plate waste) contributes to climate change due to an increased use of freshwater and fossil fuels, and the decomposition of food contributing to increased carbon dioxide and methane emissions (Hall et al., 2009). An evaluation in six Florida Elementary schools found increased selection and consumption of fruits and vegetables, resulting in reduced food waste in schools receiving FTS intervention activities (Xxxxx et al., 2018). Furthermore, targeted food systems education has been shown to increase fruit and vegetable consumption and reduce waste (Prescott et al., 2019). Through greater knowledge and acceptability of fruits and vegetables as a result of FTS activities like gardens, nutrition education, and local food availability, students are more likely to choose fruit and vegetable offerings as part of their school lunch and are more likely to consume those fruits and vegetables, thus reducing the school’s overall plate waste (Xxxxx et al., 2018; Prescott et al., 2019; Xxxxxx et al., 2015). The USDA also promotes campaigns in schools to reduce food waste, with most of the strategies mirroring what FTS programs are working to achieve, including but not limited to: 1) targeted student engagement with their food through food naming, placement, and taste tests; 2) collaboration with local farmers; and 3) composting for school gardens (Xxxxxx et al., 2015). School gardens also have the potential to positively impact environmental health, though additional research is needed to support this association. Georgia Organics emphasizes the expansion of organic farming and adoption of more sustainable practices. Through their farm to school partnerships, they encourage and support farmers to switch to more sustainable and organic regenerative agriculture practices for improved environmental health and climate change mitigation. Fostering partnerships between organic farms and schools not only supports the regenerative agriculture movement, but also helps bridge gaps in access to organic food for children. Research supports the positive environmental benefits of organic agriculture, with benefits such as reduced water use and groundwater pollution, larger crop yields, and less harmful chemicals entering into the environment (Gomiero et al., 2011). In addition, the production of agrochemicals requires...
