Wisconsin Team Nutrition Training Grant

Wisconsin 2008-2010 Team Nutrition Training Grant

Proposal Summary

The Wisconsin 2008-2010 Team Nutrition Training Grant uses a multifaceted approach to help schools connect the cafeteria to the classroom through nutrition education. Schools provide a logical venue to impact nutrition through a farm-to-school program, but schools often lack information about how and where to obtain locally grown foods. Wisconsin produces many varieties for fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy, lean meats and whole grains, and the promotion of this produce is an excellent way to engage students and communities in nutrition education. Through cooperative efforts among several Wisconsin agencies, farm fresh produce, local Wisconsin foods and life-long activity will be featured in school meals and classroom activities, and will serve as a way to connect the community to the classroom.
