Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

Local food producers, farms, and small food businesses could see increased demand as participating schools shift to buying whole, unprocessed ingredients for scratch cooking. Schools upgrading kitchens may also buy equipment from local suppliers. The effect would be small and localized to areas near participating schools.
