Declares Jersey farm fresh to school week

These sections direct the Departments of Agriculture and Education to collaborate to establish a “Jersey Fresh Farm to School Week” to highlight the importance of New Jersey agriculture, as well as the importance of fresh farm foods for children’s general health and success in school. During this week, promotional events must occur through school breakfast, lunch, and snack programs and in the classroom as well as at other community groups and events. The Departments are also directed to develop a “New Jersey Agricultural Literacy Week” to “highlight the importance of agriculture and how the agricultural products in the State provide the necessary ingredients for meals.”
