The Inaugural NY Farm to School Summit will bring together Farm to School stakeholders including farmers and producers, food service directors, educators, administrators, and more! The Summit is centrally located in Syracuse, NY.

Brought to you by the NYS Department of Education and Cornell Cooperative Extension - Harvest NY.

We are pleased to announce that Dr.Jennifer Gaddis will be our Keynote for the Summit!

Join Dr. Jennifer Gaddis, author of The Labor of Lunch and Transforming School Food Politics around the World, to learn about the overlooked history of school food in the United States—including how early visionaries at the turn of the 20th century viewed school lunch as a form of communal care, a source of good jobs, and a locus for experiential learning and classroom connections—and contemporary efforts to realize this potential.
