Resumen
Descripción
Farm-to-School (FTS) programs exist in 50 states. However, many FTS efforts have failed due to
operating costs, local food availability, and distribution logistics. There is almost no literature
examining the factors impacting FTS program implementation and success, although such
information could have value to policy makers, school administrators, and producers interested
in FTS. More than half of Oklahoma’s schools provided information on their child nutrition
programs, their means of food procurement, and their experiences with FTS (or lack thereof).
This information was used in a logit model to examine the correlations between certain school
characteristics and participation in FTS programs.
