Fundamentals of Farm to School / Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

Fundamentals was created in response to feedback from State agency employees expressing a need for foundational training in farm to school and early care and education (ECE) as part of their onboarding. Many farm to school and ECE professionals enter their roles without prior background in farm to school and food systems, and there is currently no standardized method for acquiring knowledge of farm to school and ECE concepts.

To address this gap, the National Farm to School Network, in collaboration with the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Community Food Systems Division (CFSD), developed the Fundamentals of Farm to School/Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Training and Handbook. This initiative aims to support the onboarding of new employees in state agencies and other statewide organizations and to provide a refresher course for those already familiar with farm to school or CACFP practices, facilitating and expanding knowledge in this critical area.
