ACCESS SURVEY

The National Farm to School Network (NFSN), in partnership with Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems, launched the 2018 National Farm to Early Care and Education Survey in the spring of 2018. We heard from 2,030 respondents serving 255,257 children in 46 states about current farm to ECE initiatives, including motivations for participation and challenges to starting or expanding farm to ECE practices, and barriers and needs for support for getting started with farm to ECE.

To lift up and celebrate these results and build awareness of farm to ECE, NFSN and MSU CRFS has developed an infographic and fact sheet that partners and supporters can use to start the conversation in their networks.
