USDA is responsible for monitoring the extent of farm to school activity nationwide. The Farm to School Census utilizes survey data from all school food authorities (SFAs) participating in USDA's national school feeding programs. The Farm to School Census shares information regarding various farm to school activities, procurement practices and education efforts by schools utilizing locally raised food and engaging with local food producers.

Thanks to all SFA staff and their partners, who helped to make the 2023 Census a success!
