Farm to School Act of 2025

# Farm to School Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Farm to School Act of 2025 aims to strengthen connections between local farms and school meal programs. While specific details aren't yet publicly available (the bill is still in committee), legislation with this title typically works to increase the amount of locally-sourced food purchased by schools for their cafeterias. This would support local farmers and producers while potentially providing fresher food options to students. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact schools, students, local farmers, and food producers. Schools would need to adjust their purchasing practices, while local agricultural businesses could gain new markets for their products.

Students would potentially benefit from fresher, locally-sourced meals. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it's in an early stage of the legislative process. It has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), who represents the U.S. Virgin Islands. *Note: Detailed provisions are not yet available as the bill remains in committee review.*.
