Farm to school activities may also support environmentally sound, sustainable, and just approaches to food production, processing, packaging, transportation, and marketing. Success in this sector is measured via student and adult environmental literacy, environmentally friendly practices in schools, and support for sustainable food production methods and practices. Although there is significant potential, research and data collection related to environmental impacts is nascent.
